India vs West Indies 1st ODI: India win toss, opt to field first

India take on West Indies in the 1st ODI of a 5-match series between the two nations at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday. 

Here are the live-match updates:

# India win the toss and have elected to field first. 

India recorded a whitewash in the recently concluded 2-match Test series against West Indies after a dismal campaign against England away from home where they were trounced at every stage.

Skipper Virat Kohli led from the front, ensuring dominant performances against the visitors who failed to put up much of a fight. Youngsters Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh further made their presence felt for India, scoring runs at a consistent pace with confidence performances through thick and thin.  

The Windies will be looking to ensure a strong fight in the limited overs format, despite the absence of proven cricketers like Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard.  

Squad: 

India: Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, K Khaleel Ahmed, Lokesh Rahul, Umesh Yadav.

West Indies: Jason Holder (c), Fabian Allen, Sunil Ambris, Devendra Bishoo, Chanderpaul Hemraj, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Kieran Powell, Ashley Nurse, Keemo Paul, Rovman Powell, Kemar Roach, Marlon Samuels, Oshane Thomas and Obed McCoy.
