The world cup preparations of the Indian cricket team have started as the captain Rohit Sharma-led side defeated the West Indies in the first ODI match of the three-match series. After West Indies got bundled out for 114 runs, team India chased down the target after losing five wickets. Ishan Kishan scored 52 runs in 46 balls after he got promoted to open the inning. Team India chased down the target in 23 overs. While the mood of the team was pretty jovial, India captain Rohit did lose his temper on a few occasions.
On the final ball of the 19th over of the West Indies' innings, Rohit was seen getting angry at Shardul Thakur after the poor fielding shown by him, which allowed the hosts to get two extra runs. In a viral video, Rohit was seen giving a mouthful to Thakur.

In what was clearly a bit of an audition for younger batting aspirants before the World Cup, star batter Virat Kohli did not feature, while captain Rohit Sharma only appeared at the fall of the fifth wicket. But Kuldeep Yadav stole the show on his return to the team.
