Virat Kohli marked his return with a 55th ODI century, steering India to an eight‑wicket victory in the series opener against West Indies.
India opened their bilateral ODI series against the West Indies with a dominant performance, clinching an eight‑wicket win. The match saw a swift chase of the target set by the Caribbean side, with the Indian batting line‑up remaining largely untroubled.
Returning to the side after a brief hiatus, Virat Kohli delivered a masterclass, registering his 55th ODI century. His innings anchored the chase, allowing India to stay ahead of the required run rate throughout the latter half of the game.
The victory not only gave India a clean start to the series but also underscored Kohli's enduring class in the limited‑overs format. The West Indies, despite a competitive total, could not contain the momentum generated by Kohli’s knock and the supporting contributions from the middle order.
With the series now underway, the win sets a positive tone for India’s upcoming fixtures, while the West Indies will look to regroup and respond in the next match.
