IND vs WI, 1st T20: Kuldeep picks three as India limit Windies to 109-8

India need 110 runs to win the first T20 match of a three-match series against West Indies on Sunday.

Earlier India won the toss and invited Windies to bat first at Kolkata's Eden Gardens stadium and bowlers justified skipper Rohit Sharma's decision of bowling first.

At one point, the current World T20 champions were 28-3 inside five overs.

India's bowling unit made the difference for the team by taking early wickets to build pressure on the guests.

Krunal Pandya and Khaleel Ahmed, who made their T20I debut, got one wicket each.

Pandya got the big-hitting Kieron Pollard out for 14 with his left-arm spin to celebrate his first international wicket. 

Fabien Allen hit a 20-ball 27 in his first T20 game for the West Indies before falling to another debutant Khaleel.

While India's spin sensation Kuldeep Yadav, who returned impressive figures of 3-13, was the most economical bowler for his side with an impressive economy of 3.25.
