India vs West Indies 1st T20I Live Score: Virat Kohli Takes India To Victory
As India take on West Indies in the first T20 International (T20I) of their three-match series in Hyderabad, it will be a chance for KL Rahul to stake a claim for the opener's slot along with Rohit Sharma, while Rishabh Pant will get another chance to show that he deserves to be on the flight to Australia in October next year for the T20 World Cup.
West Indies, on the other hand, will be looking for some payback, having lost 3-0 when India played them last. With Virat Kohli back in the T20I squad, having sat out of the series against Bangladesh, KL Rahul will likely move up to the opener's slot along with Rohit Sharma that was left vacant due to Shikhar Dhawan's injury. West Indies will look to bounce back from their 2-1 T20I series defeat to Afghanistan in Lucknow.
