His innings also saw him cross 15,000 ODI runs and register his 55th ODI century.
Shubman Gill also made a major contribution, scoring 110 in the first ODI.
The India captain will look to continue his strong run at the top of the order as India attempt to take control of the series.
Kuldeep Yadav Key to India's Bowling Attack
Kuldeep Yadav was India's leading bowler in the first ODI.
The left-arm wrist-spinner finished with figures of 4/40 from 10 overs, helping restrict West Indies to 295/7.
His wickets included John Campbell, Justin Greaves, Shai Hope and Jewel Andrew.
Kuldeep's ability to take wickets through the middle overs could again be important for India in the second ODI.
What West Indies Need to Do
West Indies will enter the second ODI knowing that another defeat would end their hopes of winning the series.
Their batting showed signs of promise in the first match, with Justin Greaves scoring a century and John Campbell contributing 62.
However, the team will need greater support from the middle order and bowling attack if they are to challenge India in Guwahati.
