India defeats West Indies by 5 wickets as Rohit Sharma bats at No. 7

The West Indies batted poorly, scoring only 114 runs in 23 overs. In reaction, India has experienced a minor collapse. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not bat in their normal positions as India wanted to give the lower order hitters some time in the middle. Ishan Kishan hit a half-century, but there was little else.Kishan eventually perished for 52 off 46 balls, and India were 97/5 in 17.2 overs when Rohit Sharma finally stepped out to bat. Earlier, Kuldeep Yadav finished with unbelievable figures of 4/6 in just three overs, while Ravindra Jadeja got three wickets. West Indies went from 88/3 in 15.4 overs to 114 all out in 23 overs. Captain Shai Hope cast a despondent figure as he was stuck at one end and West Indies continued to lose wickets at the other. He finished with a total of 43 points from 45 balls.

WI 114 (23)

IND 118/5 (22.5)
