Shikhar Dhawan made a well-crafted 97 while Shubman Gill made a classy 64 in his ODI comeback before India held their nerves to pull off a three-run win over the West Indies in the series opener on Friday. Openers Dhawan (97 off 99 balls) and Gill (64 off 53) shared an 119-run stand before the West Indies fought back to restrict India to 308 for seven. The West Indies needed 15 off the final over for a record chase at Queens Park Oval but Mohammed Siraj was able to stop a rampaging Romario Shepherd (38 not out off 25). Kyle Mayers (75) and Shamarh Brooks (46) raised West Indies' hopes with an 117-run stand for the second wicket before Brandon King (54) took the game deep. In the end, the West Indies fell short and ended at 305 for six.
