Georgetown: India captain Virat Kohli is definitely one of the most enthusiastic cricketers of all time and cricket fans know how much the Delhi lad loves the game. But it's not that he loves everything that happens on a cricket field. The talismanic batsman was left frustrated after the first ODI against West Indies -- which turned into a start-stop affair -- was eventually called off due to rain.
Thursday's match, which started after a delay of 90 minutes, saw only 13 overs of play with several rain interruptions. First, it was reduced to 43-overs a side game before rain once again played spoilsport. After two interruptions, the match was finally abandoned when West Indies were 54/1.
"It's probably the worst part of cricket. A stop-start is never a good feeling. Either it should rainout or play the full game. The more stops you have, the more you want to be careful to ensure that the players don't injure themselves," Kohli said at the post-match presentation.
