Earlier, Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat first. “We are backing Rishabh to still bat at four, and Shreyas Iyer will bat at five. Four and five are more like floating batting position for us, according to the situation of the game anyone can bat anywhere.“, told Kohli at the toss.

The first ODI game of the series was washed out due to rain. The captain enjoyed his time, dancing to the tunes of the Caribbean music along with Windies opener Chris Gayle.
