PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Kuldeep Yadav

So another bad day for the Windies batsmen. Let's just hope that at some point in this series, Windies are able to summon the world champions within themselves. Until next time, this is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Abhinand Raghavendran, Vineet Anantharaman, Pradeep Krishnamurthy and Sriram. Goodbye!

Kuldeep Yadav, MoM: Very important to take wickets. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. But that's my aim. The first wicket (of Bravo) was the one I cherished. It's the ball I'm working on (faster one). Just bowl it to contain runs as well.

Rohit, India captain: Exceptional performance with the ball. Was a lot on offer for the seamers. Even with spinners, it wasn't easy. Overall there was little bit for every department. To start with, we bowled well - good areas. Used the conditions perfectly. Knew the chase wasn't going to be easy. Hopefully we can learn from these mistakes. Oshane Thomas is a really exciting talent. If he bowls in good areas, it's not going to be easy for batsmen to counter it. The advantage of height gives him that extra edge. Wish him the best in the future but not against us. Very exciting talents again - Krunal and Khaleel. Krunal - I've seen him closely in last two-three years for MI. When he came into bowl, Pollard was batting. He was the one who wanted to bowl against him. These guys are ready to take those challenges. Exciting for the captain when you see that. If they continue to work on their skills, India's going to benefit for sure.

Brathwaite, WI captain: Didn't apply ourselves. Never got into second or third gear. Were either too defensive or too attacking. Can see the way Keemo and Allen finished, if we had wickets in hand we would've got 130-140 which would've probably been a winning score. Young bunch of guys who want to be fearless. Understand the privilege to represent Windies. Lot of us grew up watching the legends. Don't know what the long-term plans will be from the selection panel (about Oshane Thomas). But had a few chats with him, just about using this opportunity. He's at the best place he could be. Hope he gets fitter, gets stronger. Continues to bowl rapid. And continue to grow as a cricketer and a person. For him, the world is at his feet. Will try to guide him as well as we can. Ultimately it's up to us, the Windies cricket system, to pull him along and create what would be another Joel Garner or Michael Holding.

DK: It's got a lot of bounce and seam movement. This wicket is a good wicket to bat on and has got something for the bowlers as well. We shouldn't get carried away by the score. They bowled some good balls upfront - the balls they bowled to Shikhar and Rohit were special. When someone's bowling above 140, getting the ball to seam and bounce - it's hard. They were two good wickets. That's my role here - when there's pressure, absorb the pressure, try and help the team win. As a senior player, that's my role in the team. At the same time, play confident cricket. It was important that the good bowlers were seen through.

22:14 Local Time, 16:44 GMT, 22:14 IST: Krunal Pandya's had an excellent outing on debut, and he gets to hit the winning runs. He's visibly pleased. India were made to sweat a bit, a little more than you'd expect them to while chasing something like 110, but they've got there in reasonable health with a couple of overs left. This was a pitch which offered some juice to the bowlers, which Oshane Thomas in particular exploited very well with the new ball to produce some thrilling deliveries - especially that ball with which he removed Dhawan. India slumped to 45/4 at one point, but Dinesh Karthik settled in nicely to ensure that the job was done. Maybe a few more runs could've made it interesting. But the Windies were badly let down by their batsmen early on. They probably aimed too high for a pitch that didn't need as much effort, only to fall down with a crash. We'll be back with the presentations..

STAT: Most wins in first ten T20Is as captain:
9 Rohit Sharma
8 Shoaib Malik/ M Clarke/ Asghar Afghan/ Sarfraz Ahmed

David Warner has eight wins in nine T20Is as skipper.

17.5

K Paul to Krunal Pandya, 2 runs, full outside off, may have stopped on Krunal's drive but he's able to chip it over short cover's head. They come back for the second to seal a 1-0 series lead

17.4

K Paul to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, full ball on middle and leg, lovely flick shot from Krunal, hurries away past the diving deep midwicket fielder

17.3

K Paul to Krunal Pandya, 2 runs, short ball around the right shoulder, Krunal helps the pull away wide of Oshane Thomas who puts in a heavy dive. Good commitment shown to cut it off

17.2

K Paul to Karthik, 1 run, gets this leg-cutter cutting away outside off, Karthik steers nicely to third man

17.1

K Paul to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, slingy yorker on off, Krunal rushes his bat down to eke out a thick inside edge past leg stump

Keemo Paul [3.0-0-20-0] is back into the attack

16.6

K Pierre to Karthik, no run, defended to short cover

16.5

K Pierre to Krunal Pandya, 1 run, clipped away through midwicket to bring up the 100. Just 10 away now

16.4

K Pierre to Krunal Pandya, FOUR, sliding away from off, that's been dabbed pretty fine from Krunal. Excellent execution of the late dab to send it into the third man boundary

16.3

K Pierre to Karthik, 1 run, low full toss drifting in on the pads, flicks it through midwicket

16.2

K Pierre to Karthik, no run, punched to short cover

16.1

K Pierre to Karthik, no run, Windies have gone for a review, but they don't seem that confident. That's because Karthik has missed this by a couple of inches. Wanted to dab this behind backward point, but it gripped away from him

Windies have gone for a review, but they don't seem that confident. That's because Karthik has missed this by a couple of inches.
