And is this gone? West Indies think it is. So does the umpire. And India review. Looks very close. The review is gone and the on field decision stands. Rohit is gone. Great innings. IND 84/1 after 13.1 overs.
It's just boundaries after boundaries by Rohit. Most of them has been perfectly placed and this one isn't different. It's a sweep now. He is showcasing every shot that he has in his quiver now. 7 off the over. IND 84/0 after 13 overs.
And that's 50 for Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. What a knock this has been. It's been that easy for the captain and for India. And that's another 4 down the ground. This is just one-way traffic now. IND 77/0 after 12 overs.
50 up for India in the last over and this over begins with a 4. West Indies players do not know which way to look. Pulled to deep square leg. And another one is poked towards the boundary. And that's a 6. What a pull shot off the front foot. Rohit is batting at 46 now. Just a matter of time before he reaches 50. IND 67/0 after 10 overs.
India are making this run chase too easy. This delivery from Roach has been nonchalantly lofted over the infield by Rohit for another 4. He is dealing in boundaries at the moment. And another. And that's another lofted shot. Dances down the track and this one is gone for another 4. IND 48/0 after 8 overs.
That's another four. Quick hands and this one has raced to the boundary as well. The West Indies are leaking runs at the moment. Kishan is taking taking full advantage of a West Indies attack which appears toothless. IND 40/0 after 7 overs.
Kishan gets in on the act and a short ball ny Holder is punished for a four. Waits and muscles the pull shot through mid-wicket. And the last ball of the over gets another four. This time from Rohit. Again a perfectly timed shot. India cruising along. IND 35/0 after 6 overs.
Too straight again and that's punished for a 4 by Rohit. A flick on the leg-side and there's no stopping that. Poor from Roach but India won't be complaining. IND 26/0 after 5 overs.
What a beautiful shot by Rohit. The timing is on point and it's driven straight down the ground for a 4. Delightful drive. Not a lot wrong with the delivery. Just that the timing was exceptional. India 18/0 after 4 overs.
Time for the chase now. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan open for India. Roach will lead the attack for West Indies. Roach is getting a little bit of movement to start. 2 appeals already. One for caught behind and one for LBW. And Rohit replies to the appeals with a timed shot to deep square leg for a 4. India 6/0 after 1 over.
4/49 by Chahal is the first instance of an Indian spinner taking four wickets in an innings in ODIs since Chahal's 4/51 against SA in India's opening game in WC 2019 in Southampton.
Definitely, very good to be back in Indian colours. Heartening to get the opportunity today. Bit of turn and bit of slowness to start with was a treat for me. Me and Yuzi enjoyed bowling today. Hopefully we can get this quite easily. Most teams would prefer starting with seamers. But this is what I have veen doing in domestic cricket as well. I have been bowling 7th, 8th overs and so on in the powerplay. I am very comfortable doing this as well. We should be hopefully get this easily.

All over. That's the end for West Indies. They are all out for 176. Chahal gets his fourth wicket of the day as Joseph is caught by Suryakumar Yadav.
And that's a maximum. Joseph clears the boundary rope. A flighted delivery and it's absolutely smoked for a 85-metre six. WI 173/9 after 42 overs.
And there goes the last piece of resistence for the West Indies. Krishna gets Holder. Inside edge and Pant makes no mistake. West Indies down to last man. WI 167/9.
Holder is just 1 run off his fifty and he gets to it with a shot straight to deep mid-wicket. Great innings considering the circumstances. And Allen falls. Wasingdon gets his 3rd. That's the end of a gritty partnership.
