India vs West Indies, 1st T20I: Suryakumar Yadav, Venkatesh Iyer seal it for India

KOLKATA: It was not the start Ravi Bishnoi was looking for when he came running around from long-off to take a well-judged catch of Nicholas Pooran, but sadly he touched the boundary rope while back-tracking to maintain the body balance. But the youngster was quick to get over that disappointment and made a telling impact in his debut international match. He ended up with two for 17 in his four overs — and was named 'Man of the Match' — to help India restrict West Indies to 157 for seven after skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and put the opposition in at the start of the first T20I here on Wednesday.

The skipper later laid the foundation for Suryakumar Yadav and Venkatesh Iyer to end it in style as India recorded a six-wicket victory, reaching 162 for four in 18.5 overs.
