    "editor1": "<p><strong>Georgetown (Guyana), Aug 9&nbsp; <\/strong>India skipper Virat Kohli was left frustrated after the first ODI against West Indies -- which turned into a start-stop affair -- was eventually called off due to rain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thursday&#39;s match, which started after a delay of 90 minutes, saw only 13 overs of play with several rain interruptions. First, it was reduced to 43-overs a side game before rain once again played spoilsport. After two interruptions, the match was finally abandoned when West Indies were 54\/1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s probably the worst part of cricket. A stop-start is never a good feeling. Either it should rain out or play the full game. The more stops you have, the more you want to be careful to ensure that the players don&#39;t injure themselves,&quot; Kohli said at the post-match presentation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>When asked about playing in the Caribbean Islands, Kohli said: &quot;A few pitches might have good pace and bounce, while others can be a bit slower and difficult. So you have to assess them and play accordingly.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the match, the Indian skipper was, however, seen dancing to the DJ&#39;s tunes at the Providence Stadium.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While, the Indian skipper danced with his teammates on several occasions, he even managed to rope in Chris Gayle, his former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The two teams will now take on each other in the second ODI in Port of Spain on Sunday.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
