Kohli slaps a wide half-volley from Chase past mid-off for a four before he defends the rest of the over.
Captain Kraigg Brathwaite brings himself into the attack, to bowl some part-time off-spin in place of Bishoo.
India easily manage to pick three runs from his first over to keep the runs coming.
In the next over, Chase drops short as Rahane cracks it through the covers for a four. He attempts a quick single off the last ball but Kohli sends him back immediately as mid-off swooped in on the ball quickly.
India are 325 for three in 80 overs but West Indies decide against taking against the second new ball.
Brathwaite from round the wicket bowls a poor delivery down the leg side as Kohli glances it fine for a four. The third ball is punches to deep midwicket for a single and Rahane clips the next ball behind square for one.
Another single for Kohli raises the 100-run stand for the fourth wicket.
West Indies are content to continue with Chase, who has been expensive, giving away 62 runs in 13 overs, at nearly five per over.
West Indies have gone on the defensive as Brathwaite bowls on the leg stump line to keep the two batsmen quiet.
Kohli clips the fifth ball through square leg for a single for the only run of the over.
Chase, bowling from round the wicket, makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Rahane, who is caught behind for 41. The India vice-captain attempts to play the cut shot off a short ball but the ball kissed the bottom of the bat and wicketkeeper Dowrich took a sharp catch.
A poor review from Rahane as India end up losing one of their reviews.
New batsman Rishabh Pant watchfully defends the last two balls of the over.
