After winning the toss, India opted to bat first. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal started things off. As both the batsmen are sublime stroke players, therefore a good start was expected. Moreover, the boundary length has proven to be a huge impetus for the batsmen. 

It was Jaiswal, who launched the onslaught from the outset. The left-hander dealt in 4s and 6s and within no time got to his fifty. Gaikwad on the other hand could not find his rhythm and got out after scoring just 25 runs. Subsequently, Tilak Varma and Jitesh Sharma could not contribute much to the total and fell within 8 runs. However, Jaiswal kept on going and eventually scored his maiden T20 ton. He scored the century off just 48 balls and thereby became the 3rd quickest from India to reach the mark. Only Rohit Sharma (35) and KL Rahul (46) are ahead of him.
