West Indies reach 295-7 after Greaves ton in India ODI
Justin Greaves anchored the innings with 101, and Kuldeep Yadav’s 4/40 kept India from chasing a larger target.
On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Virat Kohli made his 44th ODI appearance against the West Indies at Greenfield International Stadium, breaking Mohammad Azharuddin's record for most matches played against the visitors.
After losing the toss, the West Indies opened the three-match series by batting first, establishing a competitive total of 295/7 driven by a 135-run opening partnership between John Campbell and Justin Greaves.
Opener Greaves anchored the innings with 101 runs off 108 balls, while Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav struck back in the middle overs with outstanding figures of 4/40 from his 10 overs.
Amir Jangoo provided late acceleration for the visitors, remaining unbeaten on 58 from 43 balls to push the final score to 295/7, leaving India a target of 296 runs to win.
This series serves as critical preparation for India's 2027 ODI World Cup campaign, with the team focusing on veterans Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma in the 50-over format after their Test and T20 retirements.
