Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill tons guide India to 8-wicket win over West Indies
In the first One Day International at Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday, India's Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill combined for a 151-run partnership to guide the Indian team to an emphatic 8-wicket victory over West Indies. Kohli, who achieved his 15,000 ODI runs milestone in the match, scored 139 runs off 88 deliveries, staying unbeaten along with Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Gill reached 110 off 108 balls, despite being dropped on 11. West Indies' bowling attack struggled to contain the Indian duo, with Kuldeep Yadav contributing 4 crucial wickets. After Rohit Sharma's aggressive start with 32 runs, Roston Chase dismissed Gill but Kohli and Gaikwad ensured India crossed the finish line in style. Earlier, Kuldeep's bowling caused significant disruption as Justin Greaves, who scored a maiden hundred, managed only 101 runs off 108 balls.
