In the thrilling 3rd ODI match at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad, Team India made a stunning comeback with an explosive opening partnership between Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan. Gill showcased his class and elegance, amassing a brilliant 85 runs, while Kishan's ferocious hitting rattled the opposition, as he notched 77 runs off just 64 deliveries. 

However, as cricket often goes, the dismissal of Kishan brought a brief lull in the scoring. Ruturaj Gaikwad joined the crease but couldn't find his rhythm and departed for just 8 runs off 14 balls.

The famed Indian all-rounder exhibited his prowess with bat, smacking 70 off 52 deliveries. His valiant efforts guided India to a massive 351-run total. In response, West Indies are tottering at 15 for two as of writing.
