Mohammed Siraj begins with a length ball, shaping away from outside off. Shai Hope leaves it alone.

We are set to begin! The players stride out to the middle. Brandon King and Shai Hope will open the batting for West Indies. Before starting the game, the players take the knee in support of the BLM movement. Mohammed Siraj will begin the proceedings with the ball. Here we go...

The teams line up for the national anthems. The national anthem of West Indies will be played followed by India's national anthem.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Shai Hope (WK), Brandon King, Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard (C), Jason Holder, Fabian Allen, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach.

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna.

Kieron Pollard, the skipper of West Indies, says the toss is 50-50, they need to adapt to the conditions and play well. States the guys have to adapt according to the pitch and the conditions, they need to adjust mentally and bat longer as this is a 50-over game. Informs they have two changes, Roach and Fabian Allen come in, Darren Bravo also returns.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of India, says it looks like a good pitch and it won’t change a lot, it might get better under lights. Adds that he is happy to be back, playing for the country is the priority, it has been a couple of months since he has played and he is happy he is back. Mentions it is a historic day in Indian cricket and it has been a long journey for them and India has seen a lot of ups and downs but they have grown as a team. Informs Hooda is making his debut and they are playing with 6 batters and 5 bowlers.

TOSS - Up goes the coin and lands in the favour of India. They have elected to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT -  Ian Bishop is near the pitch. He says that the pitch is nice and green. Adds that live grass has been removed in certain areas and also there are a few dry areas, the odd deliveries might grip off the surface. Mentions that this wicket looks like a good one to bat on, and if the dew arrives later in the day, batting will become even easier. So the captain winning the toss should ideally bowl first.

UPDATE - India have handed Deepak Hooda with his ODI cap. He is all set to make his ODI debut on India's 1000th ODI.

West Indies, on the other hand, are a team in transition. They have a lot of quality in their ranks, a lot of potential but it is now time to put that into use. They were quite poor against the Irish but will be high on confidence after beating England before coming here but in the shortest format. They though will need to be at their best if they are to win this. Toss and teams in a bit…

The major problem for India continues to be their middle order which was quite evident in their last series. However, their bowling also lacked the bite, except for Bumrah, the others did not have a great series against South Africa. The hosts are without their ace pacemen Shami and Bumrah in this one and it is a good chance for the others to step up.

Not only the Indians but West Indies have also not endured a good time in the ODI format in recent times. Both head into this series on the back of losses. India, failed to register a win in the ODI series against South Africa whereas, West Indies lost the series against Ireland in their own backyard. Both will be eager to win with the World Cup Super League points at stake. India are heavy favourites but West Indies do enjoy the conditions here so we could expect a few close games.

Cricket is back in India and it is the format in which the Indians have struggled in recent times, the 50-over format. They welcome West Indies for a three-game ODI series followed by a three-match T20I series. Welcome to the coverage of the first game India’s 1000th ODI game.
