Kolkata T20:Rohit, Bishnoi help India beat West Indies

India beat West Indies by six wickets in first T20 International to take 1-0 lead in three-match series. Skipper Rohit Shama's 40 and Suryakumar Yadav’s timely 34 not out, takes India home in an eventually comfortable chase against WI. Earlier, Nicholas Pooran, who had fetched a staggering 10.75 crore deal in the IPL mega auction, returned to form with a 43-ball 61 to anchor the innings, while another IPL recruit opener Kyle Mayers (31 off 24 balls) gave the team early impetus and skipper Kieron Pollard (24 off 19) provided the late charge.

Chasing 158 for victory, Rohit's 40 off 19 balls put India in control and the hosts achieved their target with seven balls to spare to take the lead in the three-match series. West Indies off-spinner Roston Chase proved to be a big hurdle in India's chase as he returned figures of 2-14, including the key wickets of openers Rohit and Ishan Kishan.
