India win by six wickets, take 1-0 lead
Suryakumar returned unbeaten on 34(18) while Iyer scored 24(13) as India chased down the 158-run target with seven balls to spare.
India will look to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series against the West Indies when the two sides face off in the 2nd T20I at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on today. India had won the opening T20I clash by six wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the series. India had earlier swept the West Indies 3-0 in the preceding three-match ODI series.
Rohit Sharma in line to break massive two records held by fellow T20I captain.
Rohit had struck three sixes on his way to 40 off 19 balls in the first T20I, which India won by six wickets. If he hits three more in the second T20I on Friday, Rohit will have surpassed Australia skipper Aaron Finch and Afghanistan’s Hazratullah Zazai for most sixes against a single team in the format.
Finch has hit 34 sixes against England while Zazai hit as many against Ireland. Rohit is currently on 32 against the West Indies.
Meanwhile, Rohit is also in sight of another record that Finch holds. The 34-year-old is 36 runs away from becoming the 2nd highest run-getter against a single team in T20Is. Finch has scored 594 runs against England while Rohit is on 559.
