India batsman Shivam Dube made his ODI\u2009debut in the first ODI against West Indies at MA\u2009Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.\u2009The 26-year-old batsman made his debut for Kohli-led side in the T20I series against Bangladesh last month. Despite not making a mark with the bat, Dube managed to get a few wickets with the ball, and was recalled for the series against West Indies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the 2nd T20I, Dube hammered 54 runs in 27 balls to help his side post a challenging total of 170. Even though, India failed to win the match, the left-handed batsman made a mark enough to get a call into the ODI\u2009squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking after losing the toss, and being asked to bat, India captain Virat Kohli said: \u201cVery happy to bat first. It looks like a dry track as the spikes are going in so the surface is not hard. And we would have batted first anyway. A decent total on the board would put us in a strong position. In 50 overs, it\u2019s not easy to hit throughout the game, strike rotation is important and that\u2019s where our bowling attack becomes lethal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added:\u2009\u201cWest Indies are a dangerous side and we can\u2019t take them lightly. It is good for us to bat first and it is better suited to our game. The guys who are not playing are Manish Pandey, Mayank Agarwal, Chahal and Shardul Thakur.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
