The first match of the three-match ODI series was abandoned due to excessive rain and wet outfield in Guyana
Opener Evin Lewis and Shai Hope were batting on 40 and 6 respectively at the rain break after Indian captain Virat Kohli won the toss and asked the West Indies to bat.
The other opener Chris Gayle was out in the 11th over after scoring 4 off 31 deliveries in an agonisingly slow knock.
The first rain interruption was when the home side had scored 9 for no loss in 5.4 overs. The match was about to be resumed 30 minutes later but the wet area near the bowlers' run-up led to another delay of more than half an hour.
Kuldeep gave India the breakthrough as he dismissed dangerman Gayle who dragged the ball onto his stumps.
