India wins toss and opts to bowl in first ODI against West Indies

Virat Kohli, India's top batsman, returns to international cricket against the West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. The venue is significant as Kohli has never been dismissed in his two ODIs at Greenfield International Stadium, with his highest score being an unbeaten 166 against Sri Lanka in January 2023. Kohli's current ODI record at Thiruvananthapuram includes 234 matches, 166 runs, a strike rate of 78.00, and an average of 78.00, with one century.

The data suggests that Kohli could potentially break three of Sachin Tendulkar's records during the ongoing West Indies series, including 15,000 ODI runs, 42 international hundreds, and 6,976 ODI runs at home.
