A half-century off 39 balls with 2 boundaries and 4 sixes – Sanju Samson, take a bow! The counter-attack proved to be the right thing to do and India are in a great position. However, he departs right after that as Romario Shepherd strikes for West Indies.

IND vs WI Live: Gudakesh Motie

The West Indies bowlers have all gone above 6 runs per over in this match with a couple of spinners even conceding 8 runs per over. But one exception has been Gudakesh Motie. Brilliant line and length from him and although he has not taken any wickets, he has looked the most dangerous till now.

India 208/2 after 30 overs.

IND 163/2 after 23.3 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Gill in form!

This is a great sight for the Indian selectors to see Shubman Gill in stellar form. He will surely be the front-runner to open the batting for India in the ICC World Cup 2023 but considering how well Ishan Kishan has played, it will be very interesting to see if Rohit Sharma sacrifices his spot.

India 146/1 after 21.2 overs.

India 56/0 after 8.1 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Kishan dilemma!

Ishan Kishan has been a more than decent opening batter for India but if he is selected for the World Cup, he can be expected to bat in the middle order. With little practice at that position, it will be a challenge for him for sure. However, against WI, he continues to dismantle the bowling with another four.

India 46/0 after 7.2 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Kishan attack!

Ishan Kishan is currently the top run-scorer for India in the ongoing series and he is looking quite comfortable. One boundary and a couple of confident shots – It is just too easy for the youngster.

India 9/0 after 1 over.

IND vs WI Live: Game time!

Jayden Seales to start the bowling for West Indies while Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill are the preferred openers for India. It is game time!
