India vs West Indies, Highlights, 1st ODI, Full Cricket Score: Hosts go 1-0 up in series with commanding win

Yuzvendra Chahal is the Player of the Match!

Yuzvendra Chahal: I liked it (on his four-fer). After Washi’s double strike, the pressure was on their batters, and my aim was to maintain that pressure. I knew the ball was turning on this surface; I was advised to keep my pace up by Rohit and stuck to the middle-off line. I was focusing on keeping the pace up and getting enough turn on the deliveries. I was focusing on what I was missing out on after returning from SA and worked on my shortcomings with bowling coach Paras Mhambrey.

Finally!

india's senior men's cricket team has registered their first win of 2022 #INDvWI

After 28 overs,India 178/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 34 , Deepak Hooda 26)

FOUR! Suryakumar hits the winning boundary in the last ball of the 28th over, as India win their 1,000th ODI by six wickets with 22 overs to spare. The Yadav-Hooda partnership remains unbroken on 62, the pair coming to the team’s rescue at a stage when they had lost four wickets for just 32 runs. India lead the series 1-0!

After 27 overs,India 170/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 28 , Deepak Hooda 24)

Four singles added to the total in this over, with SKY and Hooda in no hurry to get India to the finish line at the moment.

After 26 overs,India 166/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 26 , Deepak Hooda 22)

It’s left-arm spin from both ends now as Fabian Allen replaces Jason Holder. Six from the over, including a brace to Hooda off the second ball after he sweeps through the square leg region. Partnership betwen the two crosses the 50-mark in this over. Just 11 needed for the home team to go 1-0 now.

After 25 overs,India 160/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 24 , Deepak Hooda 18)

Just three from Hosein’s eighth over, all of them coming in the form of singles, leaving India at the brink of victory at the halfway stage in their chase.

After 24 overs,India 157/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 22 , Deepak Hooda 17)

Hooda manages to release some of the pressure that was starting to build with a flurry of dots with an outside edge off the fifth delivery that sends the ball through the gap between slip and keeper. Holder had conceded a wide before the boundary, making it five from the over.

After 23 overs,India 152/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 22 , Deepak Hooda 13)

Tidy over from Hosein with just one coming from it, as Hooda collects a single off the fourth delivery, working the ball through the midwicket region. India need 25 to win from 27 overs.

After 22 overs,India 151/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 22 , Deepak Hooda 12)

Holder replaces Joseph, but the boundaries continue to flow for the hosts as SKY glances at a delivery going down leg in the penultimate ball, guiding it towards the long leg fence. Seven from the over. India need 26 to win now, with the required rate now less than one.

After 21 overs,India 144/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 18 , Deepak Hooda 9)

Yadav and Hooda keep the scoreboard ticking with three singles coming in the first five balls, before Yadav gets a thick edge that flies through the gap between keeper Hope and lone slip fielder Pooran, running away for a boundary. Hosein lets out a scream in frustration, knowing that could’ve broken the partnership had Pooran stood a little closer. Seven from the over. India need 33 from 29 overs.

After 20 overs,India 137/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 13 , Deepak Hooda 7)

SKY collects a single off the first ball, followed by a wide down the leg side. Hooda grabs a brace off the third after working the ball through midwicket, before collecting his first boundary of the innings with a solid punch down the ground off the fourth. Leg bye added to the Indian total in the fifth delivery followed by a dot. Nine from the over. India need another 40 off 30.

After 19 overs,India 128/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 12 , Deepak Hooda 1)

Just when India find themselves in a bit of pressure after a flurry of wickets, Surya decides to take the attack to the opposition with back-to-back boundaries off Hosein  to move to double figures before keeping the strike with a single off the last ball. Deepak Hooda, meanwhile, is off the mark, having collected a single off the second ball. 10 from the over.

After 18 overs,India 118/4 ( Suryakumar Yadav 3 , Deepak Hooda 0)

Just two runs and a wicket from Joseph’s sixth, with Pant following Kishan back to the pavilion after getting run out for 11, as debutant Deepak Hooda joins Suryakumar Yadav at the crease with the hosts under a bit of pressure at the moment.

OUT! Now it’s Pant’s turn to march back to the pavilion, as the wicketkeeper-batter is run out in a rather unfortunate manner. Suryakumar goes for a straight drive, but the ball ends up brushing Joseph’s boot before smashing into the non-striker’s stumps — with Pant well outside his crease. India suddenly in a spot of bother, crumbling to 116/4 from 84/0.

Pant run out (Joseph) 11(9)

After 17 overs,India 116/3 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 11 , Suryakumar Yadav 1)

Excellent over from Hosein as he gives away just three singles from it while accounting for the set batter Kisha, who is caught near the boundary while going for an ambitious slog sweep.

OUT! India lose a third wicket in the chase as Kishan falls for 28, getting caught by Allen at deep square leg while going for a slog sweep off Hosein’s bowling. IND 115/3

Kishan c Allen b Hosein 28(36)

After 16 overs,India 113/2 ( Ishan Kishan 27 , Rishabh Pant (W) 10)

Another big over for the Indians, Joseph going for 12 runs in his fifth. Kishan arches his back and ramps a short ball from the seamer, getting enough timing on the shot for the ball to marginally clear the fence, while Pant punches the ball past extra cover two balls later for a four. India need another 64 off 34 balls.

After 15 overs,India 101/2 ( Ishan Kishan 20 , Rishabh Pant (W) 5)

Eight from this over, including a first boundary of the innings to Pant in the second delivery as the keeper-batter guides the ball towards the long leg fence. The hosts cross the 100-mark in this over, needing another 76 to win from 210 balls with eight wickets in hand. Time for the players to have a drink.

After 14 overs,India 93/2 ( Ishan Kishan 17 , Rishabh Pant (W) 0)

Double wicket over from Joseph as he gets rid of Rohit and Kohli, the former trapped LBW while the latter holing out to fine leg off a short delivery. Kohli started off with back-to-back fours but ended up playing a shot too many. Rishabh Pant joins his 2016 U-19 teammate at the crease, and will hope to finish the job from here. Nine runs and two wickets from the over.

OUT! Two wickets in the over for Joseph as he bounces Kohli out. The former skipper ends up playing a shot too many after getting off the mark with back-to-back fours, hooking a short ball aimed at his helmet straight down fine leg’s throat. IND 93/2

Kohli c Roach b Joseph 8(4)

OUT! Rohit’s delightful knock finally comes to an end, as Joseph traps the India captain leg-before to break the 84-run opening stand. Umpire Ananthapadmanabhan raises his finger right away, and Rohit decides to take this upstairs. Rohit was hit above the knee roll, but because he was standing at the crease, the ball is shown to be clipping the bails on HawkEye. IND 84/1

Rohit LBW Joseph 60(51)

After 13 overs,India 84/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 60 , Ishan Kishan 17)

The boundaries keep coming for Rohit as he collects his 10th of the innings with a paddle sweep off Hosein in the third ball of this over. Follows it up with a single, with Kishan grabbing a brace off the last ball. Seven from the over.

After 12 overs,India 77/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 55 , Ishan Kishan 15)

The ‘Hitman’ brings up his 44th ODI fifty with a brace off the first ball, guiding the ball through the square leg region and racing back for a second. Rohit then goes for a lovely straight drive three balls later, collecting his ninth boundary, before keeping the scoreboard ticking with a single off the fifth ball. Seven from the over. India need exactly another 100 to win from 38 overs with all 10 wickets intact.

After 11 overs,India 70/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 48 , Ishan Kishan 15)

Spin introduced at the start of the second powerplay, as Akeal Hosein replaces Alzarri Joseph. The left-arm spinner’s off to a tidy start, with three singles coming from the over. Rohit, meanwhile, is two short of a well-deserved half-century.

After 10 overs,India 67/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 46 , Ishan Kishan 14)

Rohit takes Roach apart in this over. Pulls the first ball over square leg for a four, and follows it up with another boundary three balls later as he guides the ball through the vacant slip region. He then moves to 45 with an almighty hit into the stands beyond the midwicket fence off the fifth ball, before keeping the strike with a single off the last delivery. 15 from the over, with India ending the first powerplay on a comfortable 67/0.

After 9 overs,India 52/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 31 , Ishan Kishan 14)

Four from the over, including a couple of leg byes added to the total at the start of the over that brings up the fifty stand between Rohit and Kishan. India are off to a superb start in the chase of the modest total.

After 8 overs,India 48/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 30 , Ishan Kishan 13)

Change of ends for Kemar Roach. FOUR! The boundaries just keep flowing for the newly-appointed full-time ODI skipper as he lofts the ball over mid on off a full delivery from the senior pacer in the second delivery. Produces an even more delightful shot two balls later, using his feet nicely and holding his pose after a lofted punch over mid off to make it two boundaries in the over. He’s batting on 30 at the end of this over, with the partnership just two short of the fifty mark.

After 7 overs,India 40/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 22 , Ishan Kishan 13)

First bowling change of the innings, as Alzarri Joseph replaces Kemar Roach. Joseph starts off with a wide, before getting pulled in front of square for a boundary by Kishan in the third delivery. Five from the over.

After 6 overs,India 35/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 22 , Ishan Kishan 9)

Couple of boundaries conceded by Holder in his third over, with Kishan pulling a short-of-length ball through midwicket off the third delivery, followed by a solid punch by Rohit through cover point off the last ball. Nine from the over, with the opening stand now worth 35 at nearly six-an-over.

After 5 overs,India 26/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 18 , Ishan Kishan 4)

Single each to Rohit and Kishan in the first three balls, before the former flicks a full delivery from Roach towards square leg, where the ball lands between the two fielders stationed around the square leg region. “CATCH!” is the shout as Rohit glances at a delivery going down leg, the ball narrowly beating Pooram’s glove before running all the way to the fine leg fence for a four. Eight from Roach’s third over.

After 4 overs,India 18/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 11 , Ishan Kishan 3)

Five off Holder’s second over, including a second boundary of the innings to Rohit as he drills the ball down the ground with exquisite timing in the second ball. The skipper moves into double figures, with his partner still taking his time to find his feet.

After 3 overs,India 13/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 6 , Ishan Kishan 3)

Kishan nearly ends up chopping the ball onto his stumps in the first delivery. Wide conceded by Roach in the second. Kishan collects a double off the fourth after steering the ball behind point, with Allen getting a hand to the ball to prevent it from running away for a four. Another wide conceded by Roach, this time off the fifth delivery. Four from the over.

After 2 overs,India 9/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 6 , Ishan Kishan 1)

Jason Holder bowls with the other new ball from the Ambani End. Kishan gets off the mark with a single off the first delivery after getting an outside edge, while Rohit guides the ball through square leg for a brace next delivery. Dot off each of the remaining deliveries.

After 1 overs,India 6/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 4 , Ishan Kishan 0)

Roach concedes a wide down the leg side in the second delivery with Rohit on strike, opening India’s account in the process. Rohit gets off the mark with a boundary three balls later, working the ball through the square leg region. Five from the over.
