IND vs WI: Kohli and Kuldeep Gave 2 Lives to Shai Hope:
India’s bowling attack struggled to maintain control after early fielding lapses gave West Indies captain Shai Hope two lives. Kuldeep Yadav missed a tough return catch when Hope was on 15, while Virat Kohli spilled a straightforward chance at mid-wicket when Hope reached 27.

Kuldeep Yadav, Gurnoor Brar, and Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets each, but late hitting from Roston Chase (29 not out) pushed the score past the 400-run mark.
