Rohit Sharma, who made a come back after an injury, showed his influence on the game as he consistently got the DRS calls right and made some good bowling changes which fetched wickets.

India’s spin department which have been under the scanner for the past few months also came off good. Washington Sundar (3/30) and Yuzvendra Chahal (4/49) combined to rip through the West Indies middle order that helped India restrict them to 176.

India started off well with Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan stitching an 84-run partnership for the opening wicket. Rohit hit 60 off 51 balls before India stuttered a bit in the chase, losing Kohli, Kishan and Pant in quick succession. Suryakumar Yadav and Deepak Hooda then got together and saw India through with an unbeaten 62-run stand.

After a poor outing in the first ODI, Kohli will be eyeing that elusive century as he takes the field. India will also be looking for a much better show from their other batters.

On the other hand, West Indies — who were pretty flat in the first ODI — will desperately need their batters to step up. They disappointed in the series loss to Ireland as well. They need someone to spend time on the wicket and dig deep.

With India looking to seal the series and West Indies looking to bounce back, we can expect a cracker of a game.
