India won the toss and opted to bowl first in series opener.
Brandon and Kyle Mayers opened for the hosts.
Brandon though did not manage to make much impact during his innings as he was dismissed by Shardul Thakur in the ninth over of the game, having scored 17 runs in 23 balls.
Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja picked up a combined-seven wickets as Windies were skittled for 114 in 23 overs. India went on to win the game by five wickets, thanks to a half-century from Ishan Kishan.
West Indies had a beyond-disappointing performance in the World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabwe that saw them failing to qualify for the marquee event scheduled for later this year in India.
West Indies also lost the two-match Test series against India, held earlier this month. They lost their first match by a massive margin with India registering an innings win. The second game ended in a draw with rain washing out the fifth day.
