After a thumping win in the first ODI, India is all set to be back in action against the West Indies side at the same venue for the second game. This will be an important game for the Kieron Pollard-led side as a loss here could be curtains for them in the series and the young side do have a lot of things to be worked upon as well. A better batting effort will be expected in the second ODI from the West Indies if they have to fight it out against the Indian bowlers.

Meanwhile, India was clinical in the first game and the bowlers stepping up certainly had a big impact on the game. Suryakumar Yadav and Deepak Hooda’s partnership towards the end proved to be icing on the cake as the middle order woes seemed to have sorted to an extent. Washington Sundar and Yuzvendra Chahal also did well to break the backbone of the West Indies batting lineup. KL Rahul is all set to return for the game as he missed out owing to personal reasons and is likely to take to be back at the top.

Virat Kohli didn’t look settled in the first ODI against West Indies and could manage just 8 runs off 4 deliveries in his short-lived stay. He was surprisingly dismissed after being peppered with short balls by Alzarri Joseph and the plan worked out as he was caught at fine leg after not being able to control the pull shot. He is too good a player to be dismissed in that way and will be keen to make a mark in the second ODI against West Indies.

Mohammad Siraj was terrific with the new ball in the previous game and started with a maiden over. He was hit for two boundaries by Shai Hope while trying his outswinger but he made an excellent comeback by picking up the wicket of Hope with an inswinger that moved significantly after hitting the pitch. He finished with 1 for 26 in his 8 over spell and looked very threatening in the powerplay especially. He is likely to add some wickets to his tally in the second ODI game.

Watch out. #INDvsWI #India #WestIndies
