India Today
Watch, IND vs WI: Virat Kohli convinced current captain Rohit Sharma to take a review and the ex-skipper was absolutely spot on as Shamarah Brooks had to depart.
Former India skipper Virat Kohli helped the current captain Rohit Sharma get a successful DRS during the first ODI of the three-match series against West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Meanwhile, Chahal became the 2nd fastest Indian spinner after his spin partner Kuldeep Yadav picked up 100 wickets in ODI cricket. Chahal achieved the fear in his 60th match for India when he removed big-hitting Nicholas Pooran in the very first over of his spell under Rohit Sharma's captaincy in the first ODI.
Chahal also became the 5th fastest Indian bowler to pick up 100 wickets in ODI cricket. Chahal was on 99 when he arrived in Ahmedabad for the ODI series and he did not take a lot of time to achieve the milestone.
