Axar Patel and Sanju Samson guide Team India to 191/5 after Rishabh Pant heroics
Rohit Sharma (33) and Suryakumar Yadav (24) gave a perfect start to Team India against the West Indies on Saturday. The duo shared a 53-run partnership for the opening wicket. However, the Men in Blue found themselves in a spot of bother as the two batters departed within a span of five balls in the powerplay overs.
Rishabh Pant and Deepak Hooda (20) then took control, but Alzarri Joseph once again provided West Indies a crucial breakthrough by dismissing Hooda with a slower ball.
Sanju Samson joined Pant in the middle to steady India’s ship. Unfortunately, Pant too was caught out by Dominic Drakes at long-on off a full-length delivery by Obed McCoy during the 15th over, leaving India at 146/4.
Dinesh Karthik also failed to get going as he departed cheaply. He was cleaned up by McCoy in the 18th over. Later, Axar Patel paired up with Samson to provide Team India a strong finish as they set a target of 192 runs.
For West Indies, Alzzari Joseph (1/29) and Obed McCoy (2/66) were among the wicket-takers while Akeal Hosein took his only wicket when he dismissed Rohit Sharma.
