India vs West Indies 1st ODI: Men in Blue are all set to take on West Indies in the first One Day International (ODI) at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on Sunday. West Indies won the toss and elected to field first. Virat Kohli will lead the Indian side while Kieron Pollard has been roped in the command of Windies. After the toss, West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard said, "We will field first. This pitch is bit of an unknown so we will see how it behaves. We are looking forward to this challenge. We want to be competitive." Meanwhile, Virat Kohli said "Happy to bat first. It looks like a dry track and we would have wanted to bat anyway. In 50 overs, strike rotation is very important and that's where our bowling attack becomes lethal. West Indies are a dangerous side and we can't take them lightly. The guys who are not playing are Manish Pandey, Mayank Agarwal, Chahal and Shardul Thakur." India defeated West Indies in the three-match T20I series 2-1. Now, West Indies will be looking forward to grab an early lead.
