India vs West Indies , 1st T20I at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow , WI in IND, 5 T20Is, 2026 , Oct 06, 2026 Scorecard

14.4: Roston Chase to Shreyas Iyer, India blitz their way home in 14.4 overs and go 1-0 up in the five-match series. Chase pushes it through at the sticks. Iyer taps it to the right of the bowler. Ishan is backing up a bit far, and Chase gets to the ball quickly. He turns around and fires in a throw at the bowling end but misses, conceding an overthrow as the ball rolls towards deep cover. 

14.3: Roston Chase to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! There it is, a maiden T20I ton for Shreyas Iyer. What a way to return to form for the Indian skipper. Right from the outset, the way he struck the ball gave you the feeling that something special was brewing, and it only got better as the innings progressed, with Iyer going through the gears beautifully. Shreyas brings up his hundred in just 42 balls, the fastest by an Indian in a T20I against West Indies, inform the on-air commentators. This is fired across off by Chase from around the wicket. Iyer walks across the off stump and swings it high and handsome over long on for half a dozen. Shreyas takes off his helmet and turns towards the dugout, raising both hands aloft in celebration. A special moment for the Indian skipper.

14.2: Roston Chase to Ishan Kishan, Floated up, on middle and leg. Kishan lunges and ease it to long on for a single. He brings Iyer back on strike, who is on 95 and India need 7 more runs for the win.

14.1: Roston Chase to Ishan Kishan, Darted in at the pads. Kishan misses out on the glance and gets hit on the pads.

13.6: Matthew Forde to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! Iyer is in a hurry here, and what a knock this is turning out to be. He's on 95. Back of a length and over middle, trying to angle it across. Shreyas Iyer leans across to the off side and clobbers it over wide long on for a biggie.

13.5: Matthew Forde to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! That's too easy. Bowled from around the wicket, a full toss on the pads, and Iyer flicks it away down to fine leg or a boundary.

13.4: Matthew Forde to Ishan Kishan, Pitched up around off, pushed down through mid off for a single.

13.3: Matthew Forde to Shreyas Iyer, PUT DOWN! That is a simple catch spilled by Shamar Joseph. Length ball over off and middle, Shreyas Iyer looks to power it down the ground but hits it flat and straight to the fielder at long on. Joseph is late to get forward and ends up getting hit on the wrists, rather than pouching it safely into the hands.

13.2: Matthew Forde to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! One more! Dug in shorter this time and straighter, too. It is a back-of-the-hand slower ball as well. Iyer picks it right out of the hand and swings it high over deep mid-wicket for another biggie.

13.1: Matthew Forde to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! Straight as an arrow! Back of a length, it is the leg cutter. Iyer picks it early, moves to the off side and tonks it towards the sightscreen for a biggie.

12.6: Akeal Hosein to Ishan Kishan, FOUR! Powered away to the fence. Floated up on a length and around off. Ishan Kishan goes deep in the crease and moves to the off side, drilling it down with a straight bat and to the right of the bowler for a boundary. 19 big runs off that over.

12.5: Akeal Hosein to Shreyas Iyer, Fractionally shorter on the pads, worked away to deep square leg for one more.

12.4: Akeal Hosein to Ishan Kishan, Flatter and darted well across off, Ishan Kishan rocks back and tries to muscle it over deep mid-wicket. Kishan gets rushed and mistimes it on the bounce to the fielder in the deep for a single. The 100-run stand is up between these two as well.

12.4: Akeal Hosein to Shreyas Iyer, A bit fuller and straighter, worked away through wide mid on for a single. Uh, oh! There's a late call for a front-foot No Ball, and that is a cardinal sin for a spinner. Free Hit loading...

12.3: Akeal Hosein to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Iyer has been prolific in that region this evening. Good length at the stumps, bowled flatter, and once again Iyer makes a bit of room and hits it hard and flat over the leaping extra cover fielder for a boundary.

12.2: Akeal Hosein to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! One of, if not the, shots of the day. Hosein drags the length back a bit, on off, looking to turn it away. Shreyas Iyer backs away and just slams it handsomely over deep cover for a biggie.

12.1: Akeal Hosein to Ishan Kishan, On a length and drifted across the off stump. Kishan stays back and slaps it down to long off for a single.
