India vs West Indies: Sharma breaks Gayle's record, puts India at 167

Rohit Sharma began the match with a boundary, hitting a four off the first delivery by Oshane Thomas. Wicketkeeper Nicholas Pooran asked for a review in the fifth ball, which turned up negative — denying West Indies the chance to take any more reviews in the game.

Sharma and Dhawan — the deadliest opening pair in India’s lineup — set a blistering pace in the first seven overs.

The tip of Dhawan’s bat cracked and was knocked off from a K. Paul delivery in the seventh over. Two balls later, Paul bowled Dhawan out with India at 67-1.

Sharma held the fort till the 13th over, when a delivery by Thomas snagged him on the elbow. This may have affected his game, as he mistimed a shot shortly after, which went for a comfortable catch by Hetmyer. Sharma's 67 was the highest score from the Indian side, with six fours and three sixes. Sharma now has the record for the most sixes in T20I, beating Chris Gayle's tally by one.

Harsh Pant’s poor form continued, as he was caught by Pollard on a Thomas delivery after scoring just four runs.

Cottrell made a comeback in the last five overs, taking out Kohli in the 16th over with the ball striking the middle stump.

Manish Pandey tried to knock the ball to the midwicket part of the field but got caught by Pooran.

In the final over, Krunal Pandya hit two sixes in a row, giving India a much-needed boost to the score. Jadeja shifted the momentum with a six in the penultimate ball, putting India at 167-5.
