Well, looks like the CSK fan army were all set to blow whistles for team India right from the start. MS Dhoni, who is currently unavailable to play for the Indian team, has led Chennai's home team CSK in Indian Premier Leagues since the start. This is the reason that Chennai has such a massive fan following for 'Captain Cool', who also led CSK to three IPL titles.
Meanwhile, in IND vs WI ODI match 2019, Indian team kept a massive target of 288 runs for the visitors. West Indian bowlers did a great job and dismissed the top-order batsmen, however, they largely failed against India's middle-order which built up the Indian batting. At the end of 10 overs, West Indies reeled at 36-1 after losing one wicket.
