The match between India and West Indies played on Sunday at 2.00 pm Indian standard time. As Westindies won the toss and elected to bat first and the opening was good and Powell had played a brilliant innings at the top at a 110 strike rate. Beside, this hetmyer had also played a great innings of 104 runs with a strike rate of around 140 runs and so the score reach to 300+ . Team batting was up to mark by scoring 322 runs which is good score to win the match.
After having a target of 323 in 50 overs India had a best start from the opener because shikhar Dhawan got out by scoring just 3 runs on the hand of Thomas who was having his ODI debut . But After that the legend comes and scores start going fastly as both were playing with their aggressive style and don't give any hope to west Indies to come back in the match. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma both scored a century in the same match with a partnership of 246 runs for the 2 nd wicket and so India comes near to win the match against West Indies.
Many people have their eyes were on the young Oshane Thomas when India came out to bat. He took the new ball and bowled a really pacy first over (147kph, 147, 140, 149, 147, 147). When he knocked over Dhawan in his debut over, there was a bit of tension in the blue camp with him getting a lot of bounce and with this being a stiff chase. But, Virat Kohli counter-attacked him in style with a couple of boundaries in one over and showed he was in a great space today. The timing was so good, the shot selection was brilliant and the way he, alongside Rohit, tormented the bowlers was incredible to watch. 246-run record-breaking second wicket stand it turned out to be. 36th ODI hundred for Kohli and 20th hundred for Rohit came just like that.
Virat Kohli had broke the record of scoring 20 century as captian in one- day international. While, Rohit Sharma broke the record of scoring 150+ runs in 6 innings .beside this Rohit Sharma was having a record with Sachin tendulkar but after the match against West Indies he had made his own record to his name. Both players rank 1 and 2 in international ODI rank.
