India battled their way to a six-wicket win in the first T20I against West Indies at the Eden Garden here on Wednesday. Chasing 158 for victory, India were off to a quick start with openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan putting on a 64-run stand, but the skipper fell for 40. Wickets of Kishan (35) and Rohit by Windies off-spinner Roston Chase hit India hard.
However, Suryakumar Yadav’s 34 not out and Venkatesh Iyer’s unbeaten 24 saw the hosts emerge victorious with seven balls to spare. Meanwhile, on a high after his hefty IPL buyout, wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran returned to form with a brisk 63 as West Indies recovered from a mid-innings slump to post a fighting 157 for seven.
