India secured a comfortable eight-wicket victory over the West Indies in the opening fixture of the series at Greenfield International Stadium, successfully hunting down a 296-run target with more than eight overs to spare. Veteran opening batter Rohit Sharma contributed 32 runs from 35 deliveries before falling, while teammates Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill anchored the chase with stellar centuries.

Bowler Kuldeep Yadav claimed four wickets to earn player-of-the-match honors.

Ahead of the upcoming second fixture at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, former teammate Ajinkya Rahane expressed full confidence in Rohit's aggressive mindset and ability to rebound quickly. Rahane suggested that the experienced opener will maintain his fearless approach at the crease when the two sides meet again.
