Holder was expected to walk straight into the playing XI but as it turned out his fate didn’t take his side as he was tested positive for the COVID-19 ahead of the first game, which eventually ruled him out to take the field.

With second and third game slated to be played on 25th and 27th July, it is unlikely that Holder will be fit for the remaining two games. As per the covid protocols, infected person has to spend atleast 7 days in isolation, which ruins Holder’s chances to feature in the last two games.

It is expected that the all-rounder will now be available for the T20I series. The next two games of the series will be played at the same venue on July 24 and July 27.

While defending the target, India came under pressure on various instances as West Indies too put a decent display of batting. But the likes of Mohammed Siraj (2/57), Chahal (2/58) and Shardul Thakur (2/54) held their nerves well to guide their team to victory.
