After whitewashing West Indies in the three-match ODI series between the sides, India started the T20Is on a high by outplaying West Indies by 6 wickets in the first game at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. It was ravi Bishnoi's 2/17 that helped India restrict West Indies to 157/7 despite the outfield of Eden Gardens being too quick. If West Indies had any slight chance in the game, Rohit killed it with his quickfire 40 that came off just 19 balls, laced with four 4s and three 6s. India had some tight moments in between as they lost wickets in regular intervals since the fall of Rohit, yet the target was too small to trouble them. Suryakumar Yadav and Venkatesh Iyer took India home comfortably, helping the side take a 1-0 lead. (SCORECARD | LIVE STREAMING)
