Rohit surpasses Tendulkar; Kohli joins his club

India made light work of a mammoth 323-run chase in the first ODI of the series in Guwahati, taking a 1-0 lead. Windies batted first and scored 322 for 8 with Shimron Hetmyer scoring his third ODI century (106) supported by Kieran Powell who hit a 39-ball 51. India lost Shikhar Dhawan early in the innings but the 246-run second wicket stand between skipper Virat Kohli (140) and his deputy Rohit Sharma (152*) ensured India romped home with 47 balls to spare.
