Bridgetown ∙ Windies won the toss and sent India into bat in the second ODI against West Indies. Malayalam player Sanju Samson got a place in the team. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are not in the team. Hardik Pandya will lead.
Team India: Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar.
West Indies: Kyle Myers, Brendan King, Atik Athanas, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Kesey Carty, Romario Shepherd, Yannick Kariya, Alzari Joseph, Gudakesh Mothi, Jayden Seals.
After winning the first match by 5 wickets, India can clinch the series if they win today’s match. India won the first match thanks to the bowling excellence of Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja. Windies’ score would not have even crossed 100 if not for the resistance of Windies captain Shai Hope (43). In reply, India played with the ease of a ‘warm-up’. Ishan Kishan scored a half century. The only achievement of West Indies in the first ODI was that they were able to dismiss 5 Indian players.
∙ Poor Windies
After the miserable defeat in the first Test, the West Indies put up a good fight in the second Test and the cricket world expected that they would pose a challenge to India when they came to the ODI series. But they proved that nothing changed except the color of the jersey. West Indies are known for their pace pitches. But in the series against India, they have prepared spin wickets so far.
It will not be easy for India
Chasing the target of 114 runs set by West Indies, India had to lose 5 wickets to win. Apart from Ishan Kishan’s (52) half-century, the performance of the Indian batting line-up in the first ODI did not reach the expected level. Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli left their batting positions to the youngsters to test the batting strength of the team but the result was disappointing.
However, India may continue this batting experiment throughout the series. If the young players continue to disappoint, the possibility of disbandment in the team before the World Cup will be evident.
