India vs West Indies 1st ODI 2022: Live Streaming, Live Telecast, Date, IST Time, Squads

Ahmedabad, February 5: India will face West Indies in the first ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday (February 6).

India will be eyeing a winning start despite four players — Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Navdeep Saini — and a couple of coaching staff testing positive for Covid-19.

But India have enough strength in their bench to overcome the setback. But in the context of the match, it will not come easy for India because West Indies are a fine one-day unit and they might be riding high on confidence after defeating England in the T20I series at home recently.

It will be a landmark occasion for India as they will be playing their 1000th ODI, the first team to achieve that feat. It will also come under new captain Rohit Sharma, who will assume charge as India’s full-time white ball captain from this series.

Rohit was appointed as India’s captain after Virat Kohli stepped away from the white ball captaincy last year, but the Mumbaikar had missed the ODIs against South Africa with an injury.
