India vs West Indies 1st ODI Live Score: Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope hundreds take Windies 1-0 up
KL Rahul survives
Oh what are they doing! Rohit set off for a run after playing one to mid-off but Keemo Paul swooped in from cover prompting Rohit to stop. Rahul who was halfway down the pitch, wouldn't have made it to the non-striker's end but Paul's under-hand throw missed the stumps.
The national anthems completed, the teams are now are set to start proceedings at Chepauk. Rahul and Rohit will soon walk out for India and with WI fielding both Cottrell and Joseph, the duo might start with the 2 new balls
West Indies captain Kieron Pollard has won the toss and opted to field first in Chennai. He reckons that he would like to know how the 'unknown' pitch behaves as India will be batting first. Adds, WI are looking forward to the challenge
