It's time for the match presentations

Rohit Sharma: It was an exceptional performance with the ball. There was quite a bit for the seamers upfront. Even for the spinners, if they put in the revs, it was spinning. There was a little bit in every department. We used the conditions well, were in trouble chasing. We knew it won't be easy given the seamers they have, but there's some learning for us there, what we should do as a batting unit when conditions are in our favour. Oshane Thomas is a really exciting talent without doubt, good height plus that jump he takes, if he bowls in the right areas, it won't be easy for any batsman in the world to counter that. He's really talented, also has the advantage of height which gives him the extra edge. I wish him the best in the future.

[On Krunal and Khaleel]: "very very exciting talent. Krunal, I've seen him closely playing for Mumbai Indians. He likes the situation where the team expects him to perform. He was the one who asked me 'I want to bowl to Pollard, and got him out.' When you see guys accept challenges and bail the team out, it's exciting as captain or as a team management."

Kuldeep Yadav is Man of the Match for his figures of 3 for 13.

Carlos Brathwaite: I don't think we applied ourselves. We were either too defensive or too attacking. We could've scored 130-140, which would've been a winning total, had we kept some wickets for the back end. As young bunch of guys, we want to be fearless. We have our chance to do something for West Indies, we have a task to get to the standards where we should be. [On Oshane Thomas]: don't know his long-term plans, had a few chats with him and he's in the best place he could be. He understands the opportunities he has, he has to continue to get fitter and stronger. The world is at his feet, it's for West Indies to help him become another Joel Garner or Michael Holding.

10.17pm When Krunal Pandya walked in, it wasn't as if there was a mountain of pressure. It still needed some guts to reverse paddle your third delivery on debut. He came in and finished off the small chase easily. This has been a debut worth celebrating: four miserly overs and a wicket, followed by a cameo. Yet, this could've gone the other way if Dinesh Karthik and Manish Pandey didn't stem that top-order collapse. Oshane Thomas was hostile in his opening spell, clocking 149kph thunderbolts. Can only wonder what may have been had West Indies set India close to 145 or 150.

Dinesh Karthik: "It's a good wicket, there's a lot for the bowlers. This is good to bat on too, but there's always something for the bowlers. I think we shouldn't get too carried away by the score, the balls they bowled to Rohit and Shikhar was special. Going down the order, I wanted to just absorb the pressure and try to help the team win, that's my role. As a senior player, I keep telling myself, need to absorb pressure, but at the same time play positive cricket, make sure I bat through and take on the bowlers. Didn't need to bat at a 150 strike-rate in this game."

Paul to Pandya, 2 runs, chips this over extra cover for a couple, Krunal hits the winning runs, this has been a memorable debut. India are 1-0 up but not without a few hiccups along the way. At the other end is Dinesh Karthik, who has played a responsible knock here.
