Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Abhimanyu
2pm Well, that's an early, early finish at Bridgetown, with less than fifty overs being bowled in total! Be sure to join us again on Saturday to see how West Indies respond after this performance. For now, it's goodbye from Ekanth, Chandan, Ranjith and me!
1.51pm Time for the presentation ceremony
Rohit Sharma: "To be honest, I never thought the pitch was going to play like that. It was the team's need that we wanted to have a score in front of us but never thought the pitch would deteriorate like that. It had something for everyone. But never thought we'd restrict them to that low a score. [On the batting order] We said that we wanted to give a chance to the guys. Never thought we'd lose five wickets but it was a good chance to give a chance to a lot of the guys who have just come in. I thought restricting them to 115 got us in a commanding position that we needed so we thought we could give those guys a chance who haven't played a lot in the last few weeks. [On if he remembers the last time he came out at No. 7] It was my debut actually! Mukesh has been brilliant. Even in Tests we saw he can swing the new ball, has a bit of pace and quite consistent as well. So we want to see what he has to offer. Haven't seen him much so it was good to see what he can do with a white ball. The take away from this game was the bowling effort. Even with conditions favouring you you have to bowl well. And Kishan did well with the bat."
Shai Hope: "Let's just say we didn't play the way we needed to. On a challenging pitch, we need to find ways to score. I'm not making excuses but anyone watching cricket can see what's happening here. But we have to find ways to score. [Seales] He is a quality player. Worth investing in. Going from strength to strength. We knew an early start here would be difficult and the Indian bowlers did well on this surface, but again we didn't bat very well."
Kuldeep Yadav is the player of the match. Here's what he has to say: "[On India's bowling performance] Perfect. Started off with the fast bowlers. Mukesh, making his debut. Shardul and Hardik got wickets too. Me and Jadeja, we were great. Just following the routine and rhythm and it's been amazing in the last one year. Focusing on the length is more important than getting wickets. People say it's a seaming paradis and I was happy that [spinners] got seven wickets from our side and some from their side as well. It was spinning a bit and there was bounce as well. It's always good to have competition, but me and Chahal don't think about the competition and just work with each other. When you have seniors like Chahal to help you it gives you a lot of confidence. We have been playing together for five or six years so he has really helped. There's no competition, we just give each other great company."
Anjan: "WI bowled really well, especially Motie. In the next game, if the pitch is the same, they just need to bat first and back themselves to get 200." Yes, they definitely would have had good shout if they had stitched maybe one or two more handy partnerships. The pitch had a lot for the spinners and Motie and Cariah both were looking in good rhythm and hitting the right areas.
1.45pmComprehensive win for India. They let Rohit and Virat rest for the most part, letting everyone else have a go. Rohit did have to come out, as West Indies' spinners found good purchase and bowled well. But the total was too low for India to be troubled. The performance from Cariah and Motie are probably the only positives for West Indies. For India, Kishan did well with the bat, but it was still at the top of the order so his middle order credentials could still come under questions, but he won't care about all that for now, having added a fine half-century to his resume. Jadeja and Kuldeep were just unplayable once they got going. Mukesh Kumar also got a wicket on ODI debut, so plenty to celebrate for the visitors.
