Rohit Sharma and Co dismantled the West Indies batting and bowling lineup in a dominating fashion, as India beat West Indies by 6 wickets in the 1st ODI at Narendra Modi Stadium.
India will look to seal the series by winning the 2nd ODI. The 2nd One Day will be played at the same venue. In the post-match presentation, Rohit Sharma said they have ticked all boxes. India not only overpowered with the bat but also overshadowed will their bowling expertise. Going into the 2nd ODI many experts believe It would be India’s game to take home a series win. Without further a due let’s get into the nitty-gritty of the 2nd ODI.
Possible changes
Since KL Rahul missed out on the 1st ODI due to personal reasons, we can expect a return. Ishan Kishan would be the player to be replaced. This could be the only possible change expected from the Indian dressing room.
Odean Smith and/or Romario Shephard might find a place in the playing XI. Apart from this, a question on the batting position of Jason Holder also remains a talk of the town. Pollard can gamble around with him, given his batting skills. It should be a no-brainer if we see Holder batting up the order.
Some experts believe that playing two spinners might help West Indies in throwing up a great challenge to Indian batsmen. It’ll be interesting to see who bags a place in the playing XI.
Players to watch out
Yuzvendra Chahal remains a hot pick after his heroics in the first ODI. He’ll be the bowler West Indies would keep an eye on. The spinning track might also be a friendly arsenal for the Indian Chinaman. Mhd Siraj is another player who might shine out of the darkness with his swig expertise.
The game will begin at 1:30 PM IST, and the match will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium.
