Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant have started to rebuild the innings for team India. With 25 overs gone, the duo have powered their squad to 104 for 3 by hitting few fours. Wicket-keeper batsman Pant has batted carefully and has been mature in his shot selection.The stage is set for Pant to finally pull off a 'Dhoni-like' innings and set a good first innings total for team India.
The two-natured Cheppauk pitch does it again for Windies ! After a hard-fought 36 off 56 balls, deputy skipper Rohit Sharma (36 off 56 balls) mistimes a pull shot to midwicket and gets caught by Windies skipper Pollard. It is now 'under-fire' Rishabh Pant who joins Iyer in the middle.
Rohit began his innings in a good fashion and played some good shots as he also found a few 'fours and doubles' couple of times in his innings. India are 83/3 after 20 overs.
After the first ten overs gone, the batting pair of Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer are in the middle as they look to achieve a productive partnership to steady team India's ship. The duo have batted really well to propel their squad to 54/1 after 13 overs in Chepauk.The 50-run mark comes up for India after two major blows in form of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.
Sheldon Cottrell made KL Rahul (15-ball 6) his first victim ! A clever back of a length delivery from the Windies speedster managed to get Rahul's leading edge and went straight to Hetmyer. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma got off to a slow start on a slowish Chennai pitch and failed to give a fiery start to their innings.
Post Rahul's dismissal, skipper Virat Kohli (6 off 15 balls) was the next to crease and got off the mark with a scintillating four, courtesy a beautiful straight drive. However, it was Cottrell again, who struck for the second time in the same over to get Virat hit his bats's inside edges onto stumps. India are 25/2 after 7 overs.

New Delhi: After earning a hard-fought series win in the T20Is, Team India will now want to take that form in the ODIs when they face West Indies in the first match of the three-game rubber to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.
West Indies gave a glimpse of its power-packed performance in the three T20Is and the Indian team will be cautious in their approach, especially considering they will without their two main players in the ODIs.
Both Shikhar Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been ruled out of the series because of their respective injuries. Dhawan, who hurt his knee during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy recently, has been replaced by Mayank Agarwal while Shardul Thakur has been named as replacement for Kumar who suffered from a groin injury in the final T20I at the Wankhede.
However, despite the injuries, the Men in Blue will be confident of coming through unscathed, especially in home conditions. Captain Virat Kohli will have some tough calls to make when he will decide about the playing XI.
It will be interesting to see whether the hosts play the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal considering the slowness of the Chennai pitch.
"We were looking at an ideal combination which gives absolute balance to the team," India bowling coach Bharat Arun had said on Friday.
"Also there was an option, where we could use Jadeja as an all-rounder. So that really helped us and yes, there may be occasions when there are conducive conditions both can be playing together. But we will have to look at the overall balance before we decide the team," he added.
For West Indies, ODIs will provide them with the opportunity of taking in the T20 form and give a tough fight to the Indians. However, in the ODIs, the West Indies team haven't had the greatest of runs in the last few years and have gone without a win in 16 bilateral ODI series since August 2014.
In fact, the drawn series against England at home earlier this year remains to be their lone highlight. However, they would carry their confidence from the 3-0 sweep of Afghanistan last month.
One big positive for the visitors would be the return of their top-ranked batsman Shai Hope.
The head-to-head count between India and West Indies in ODIs stands currently at 62 wins each, but the gulf between the two sides has progressively widened in the last decade or so and the Indian team would like to increase that further.
The two teams last met in ODIs in the Caribbean Islands where India won the three-match series 2-0 as one of the matches got washed out.
Squads:
India: Virat Kohli (captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, Shivam Dube, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur
West Indies: Sunil Ambris, Shai Hope, Khary Pierre, Roston Chase, Alzarri Joseph, Kieron Pollard (C), Sheldon Cottrell, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Evin Lewis, Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder, Keemo Paul, Hayden Walsh Jr.
