Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the 1st ODI between India and West Indies which will take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. India won the three-match T20I series 2-1 recently and will be hoping for another series win over Windies in the 50-over format. Stay tuned for all the live updates and match commentary.
India vs West Indies, 1st ODI Live Updates: After winning the three-match T20I series, Virat Kohli and Co would be aiming for a victorious start to ODI series in Chennai against Windies.
1st ODI preview: With Virat Kohli-led India capturing the T2oI series with a comprehensive win over the West Indies in the third match in Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, the action now quickly shifts to Chennai, where the two teams will face off for the first of the three-match ODI series — the final bilateral commitment of the year for both teams.
The home side have been plagued with injuries of late, with pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar being the latest to be ruled out due to a groin injury. As a result, Shardul Thakur has been named as Bhuvneshwar’s replacement. Bhuvneshwar, after missing out on the home series against South Africa and Bangladesh, had finished with figures of 2/41 in the T20I series-decider.
Meanwhile, Delhi batsman Shikhar Dhawan, too has been ruled out of the forthcoming series after injuring his thumb while playing a Syed Mushtaq Ali clash against Maharashtra, and Mayank Agarwal was announced as replacement for the top-order batsman.
Agarwal, who has three centuries and as many half-centuries, including a double ton to his name in Tests, is yet to make his senior debut in the limited-overs format.
Dhawan also missed the T20I series because of the same injury.
For West Indies, this will be their first ODI assignment since their 3-0 series sweep against Afghanistan in Lucknow, where they clinched their first ODI series since 2014.
Eyes will be on Evin Lewis for the visitors in this series. Lewis was stretchered off the ground while fielding in Mumbai after picking up a knee injury, and Brandon King opened the batting eventually with Lendl Simmons during the run chase.
Sheldon Cottrell will lead the bowling attack which also includes Hayden Walsh, who impressed in the T20s.
