• •Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill scored centuries to secure the chase, effectively neutralizing a 135-run opening partnership between Greaves and Campbell.

India defeated West Indies in the first ODI after Kuldeep Yadav restricted the tourists to 295 runs. While ESPNcricinfo highlights the dominance of Kohli and Gill's centuries alongside Yadav's bowling comeback, the BBC Sport coverage focuses primarily on the raw scorecard data of the match in Thiruvananthapuram. The disconnect between the strong West Indies opening start and their eventual collapse indicates a significant volatility in their batting lineup. Whether West Indies can stabilize their middle order before the next match remains the central question for the series.
