'No nerves, no doubts': Twitter Reactions from IND vs WI 1st T20I

India made a winning start in the three-match T20I series against West Indies. Debutant Ravi Bishnoi and middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav grabbed headlines as the hosts sealed a six-wicket win over Kieron Pollard's men at Eden Gardens on Wednesday.

Asked to bat first, West Indies posted 157 in their 20 overs thanks to Nicholas Pooran's 43-ball 61. Bishnoi, who gave away just 17 runs in four overs, picked up the wickets of Roston Chase and Rovman Powell. 

R Sharma made a 19-ball 40, while his opening partner Ishan Kishan struggled to get going. India found themselves in a bit of bother when they lost three wickets in the space of three overs. However, Suryakumar and Venkatesh Iyer saw India home in the penultimate over of the match. 

Let's take at some interesting Twitter reactions from the 1st T20I:

Very impressive debut from Ravi Bishnoi. 17 dots in 24. The direction can get better (6 wides) but lots to like.

Harshal Patel in the death overs today:

- 2 Overs

Excellent returns considering the batters — Pooran, Pollard and Odean Smith — he bowled to in those two overs.

A real positive for India from this game!#INDvWI
