Just after India’s CWC 2019 debacle, Virat Kohli and men have come back strongly as they went on to win the first T20I at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill in Florida. Not more than three weeks ago, the Men in Blue were ousted in the mega-event after they lost to New Zealand by 17 runs in the semi-finals. Virat Kohli and men won the game by four wickets. Needless to say that netizens hailed the crickets as won the game. After winning the toss, India elected to bowl first and debutant Navdeep Saini snapped three wickets giving away 17 runs from four overs bowled by him. Navdeep Saini Impresses on International Debut, Picks Two Wickets in His First Over During India vs West Indies 1st T20I 2019.

Washington Sundar, Khaleel Ahmed, Krunal Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja scalped a wicket each. For the Indian side, Rohit Sharma scored the highest runs making 24. Virat Kohli and Manish Pandey made 19 runs each. Rishabh Pant got out on a golden duck after playing a reckless shot and even got trolled. In the end, it was Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar who led the team to victory. Now, let’s have a look at a few tweets hailing the team. West Indies vs India Live Cricket Score 1st T20I.

He also praised debutant Saini and said that the bowlers did a great job. India and West Indies will play their second T20I tomorrow at the same venue.
