Hyderabad: Team India on Friday defeated West Indies by six wickets to win the 1^st T20I of the three-match series and take 1-0 lead. Apart from skipper Virat Kohli’s heroic match-winning knock, opener KL Rahul contributed with a crucial 62-run knock. With this, the young batting sensation achieved a major batting milestone in the shortest format of the game as he became the 7th Indian batsman to score 1000 runs in T20I cricket. After the end of the match, Rahul gave a post-match interview on ‘Chahal TV’ on Friday and talked about his knock. During the chat, spinner Yuzvendra Chahal asked Rahul: “Now that you have reached 1000 runs, do you know how many runs you are ahead of me in the run-scoring chart in T20Is? Rahul gave a funny reply saying: “I am 999 runs ahead of you.”

Talking about the match, Rahul said, “We saw in the first innings that when the batsmen were set on the wicket, it got easier to score runs. This wicket was a bit weird, it was not the flattest wicket that I played on but still, both teams managed to score 200 plus so I cannot complain about the wicket.” “Initially, I got two-three boundaries in the second over of our innings and that gave me confidence. But unfortunately, Rohit got out a bit early, then Virat came in and it was important to form a partnership. Luckily, Virat stayed till the end and it all paid dividends,” he added.
