A clinical all-round show by the West Indies bowlers has restricted India to a below-par 237 for nine. The host was in early trouble at 43 for three after Odean Smith - replacing Kieron Pollard - removed Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli in the same over. KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav then paired for a gritty 91-run stand for the fourth wicket, showing glimpses of a middle-order resurgence, before the vice-captain was run out. Suryakumar scored a splendid fifty but wickets at regular intervals kept India's run-scoring in check.

Chahal pushes to mid off first ball and completes a very risky single. Hooda guides one to third man for a single. Chahal defends a straight length ball but it seems to have flicked his flap and WI reviews. Replays confirm impact was outside off and he survives.
IND 222/7 in 47 overs: FOUR! Hooda flicked that off his toes to the fine leg boundary. That will lift the spirits as only six had come off the over until then. Holder varying the pace nicely to keep the batters guessing and giving them little pace to work with.

MATCH PREVIEW
KL Rahul is available for selection in the second ODI against the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Wednesday.
India had to opt for Ishan Kishan as the opening partner of captain Rohit Sharma in the first game. The youngster had a decent outing with a knock of 28.
As Rahul is back in the scheme of things, it remains to be seen if he replaces Ishan as the opener or prefers to bat in the middle order on a slower track.
The axe might fall on Ishan if Rahul opens, whereas debutant Deepak Hooda, who guided the team home with an unbeaten 26 in the first game, might have to sit out if Rahul chooses to bat in the middle-order. FULL PREVIEW
