There was no Virat Kohli or MS Dhoni for India, but a depleted West Indies still went down to defeat in the opening T20 international at Eden Gardens.
Fabian Allen led the way with a paltry 27 and the returning Kieron Pollard notched just 14 as the tourists cobbled together only 109 for 8. Kuldeep Yadav did the most damage, with three wickets.
India’s reply was not straightforward and it was left to debutant Krunal Pandya to knock the winning runs with 13 balls remaining in an eventual five-wicket victory.
