In the first T20I, India outplayed the West Indies in all three departments of the game. The spin trio of Ravi Bishnoi, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja shared five wickets between themselves as they exposed West Indies batting issues against spin attack.

On the other hand, the hosts had played left-arm spinner Hosein who took 1-14 in his four overs. West Indies also erred in ground fielding and allowed Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik to play critical knocks with the bat and India posted 190 batting first. For India, the spinners were well supported by Indian Pace attack of experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar and young left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh who went through their overs, taking wickets with accuracy and sorted approach to deny West Indies batting the start they needed.

West Indies, on the other hand, would like to brush aside the thrashing they got from India after having come into the series with a 2-0 win over Bangladesh in T20Is. Despite the return of Shimron Hetmyer into the side, he didn't bring the desired impact West Indies would have liked to see in the batting department.
