As Virat Kohli's sublime innings against the West Indies helped India take a 1-0 lead, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh took to Twitter and lionised King Kohli's stellar performance. Harbhajan Singh in his tweet hailed the skipper stating 'anything is possible with Kohli on the field'. He further acknowledged Rahul's contribution and the 'little cameo' from Rishabh Pant.

Chasing a huge total of 208, India lost the wicket of 'Hitman' Rohit Sharma early. Skipper Virat Kohli and KL Rahul added 100 runs for the second wicket stand. The visitors then struck back after removing Rahul (62) after which wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant was involved in a 48-run third-wicket stand with Kohli. Even though Pant and Shreyas Iyer were dismissed quickly, the Indian skipper did not lose his focus and anchored the run chase well as he took the attack to the West Indian bowlers.
