The BCCI shared a video of the cricketers on its social media handle, with the caption: “#TeamIndia members observe a minute silence before the start of play to pay their respects to Bharat Ratna Sushri Lata Mangeshkar ji. #RIPLataJi.”

India was on top in the first hour, as they nipped out three West Indian wickets inside the first fifteen overs. Mohammed Siraj dismissed Shai Hope after being struck for two boundaries.

Washington Sunday, the powerplay specialist, was brought into the attack in the 8th over and he bowled a tremendous spell, including a double-wicket 12th over. He got both Brandon King and Darren Bravo to leave Windies reeling at 45/3.
