#2 Highest Individual Score - Rohit Sharma (111*)
Rohit Sharma, who was handed the captaincy in the absence of Virat Kohli, failed to score big in the first match at Eden Gardens. However, he played a captain's knock at the newly inaugurated Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
Windies skipper Carlos Brathwaite elected to field first and his decision looked like a masterstroke when Oshane Thomas bowled a maiden over to Rohit to start the proceedings.
But the right-handed opener started scoring runs at a scorching rate after the powerplay and brought up his half century in 38 balls. He hit the ball to perfection, slamming the inexperienced opposition bowlers for 8 fours and 7 sixes in his knock.
Rohit remained unbeaten on 111 and helped India reach 195/2 in their 20 overs.
