India vs West Indies First ODI - India batting

High Point - Partnerships

1-144 (Gambhir, 24.4 ov), 2-214 (Tendulkar, 36.5 ov), 3-219 (Ganguly, 38.1 ov), 338/3 in 50 overs tells its own story for a team that found playing out 50 overs difficult not too long ago.India did well to get a solid opening partnership and did even better to rotate responsibility between the set and new batsmen every step of the way.

Low point - Running between the wickets

MS Dhoni should have been out by a country mile before he could get set. Saurav Ganguly got himself runout. There was a lull in the middle overs where the batsmen were not doing enough to work the ball off the square and run the quick runs. India needs to work on this aspect of its game, especially in the West Indies where run making will be difficult in the middle and latter stages of the game.
