Coming to the match between India and West Indies, the Shubman Gill-led side, who were asked to field, had a great outing with the ball. They bundled out the opposition for just 162 with Mohammed Siraj (4 wickets) and Jasprit Bumrah (3 wickets) combining to take seven wickets.

Then with the bat, KL Rahul (100) slammed a magical ton while opening the innings. He had a solid 68-run stand with Yashasvi Jaiswal (36) at the top and then skipper Shubman Gill hit a flawless fifty, adding 98 runs with Rahul.

After both Rahul and Gill were back to the hut, Jadeja and Dhruv Jurel took the onus and made the West Indies bowlers look clueless. Both the batters have hit vital fifties and would be keen to convert their half-centuries into a ton.
