Only 13 overs could be bowled in the first One Day International (ODI) between India and West Indies as the match was called off due to rain at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. After a delay in the start of the game, the ODI was reduced to 34 overs. But rain gods were unrelenting as only a few overs could be bowled before the match was again interrupted. The umpires ultimately decided that play wasn’t possible in the first ODI so the match was called off.
Virat Kohli had won the toss and opted to field first against the hosts. Evin Lewis was striking the ball well as he scored 40 off 36 balls. Chris Gayle was the only batsmen to be dismissed as he fell victim to Kuldeep Yadav. West Indies were 54/1 after 13 overs when the match was called off.

However, there was a moment to savour for the fans and the cricket viewers at home. Virat did not let his mood to be dampened by rain as he broke into a jig during the start of play in Guyana. Virat was in buoyant mood as he was seen dancing on the tunes of the DJ several times. Kohli even managed to rope in his former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Chris Gayle as they enjoyed their time in the middle.

After winning the T20 international (T20I) series, Virat and Co. would have been hoping to continue their winning streak in ODIs. They dominated the West Indies in the shortest format where they outclassed the opposition in all the three departments to claim the series 3-0.
Now this ODI series will be India’s first 50-over assignment after the World Cup disappointment and the Men in Blue will fancy their chances against the West Indies side which will be strengthened by the inclusion of Chris Gayle in their squad.
The second ODI between India and West Indies will be played in Port of Spain on Sunday.
