The West Indies cricket team stunned India in the second ODI, handing them a reality check and winning the match by six wickets. The Men in Blue had a promising start with Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill adding 90 runs for the opening wicket. However, India soon witnessed a collapse, getting bundled out for 181 in 40.5 overs. West Indies effortlessly completed the run chase in 36.4 overs and now eyes a series upset as we head into the third ODI.
Hardik Pandya captained the team in the second ODI, but with a series win in mind, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli could mark their return as the most experienced figures in the team. India’s batting has been underwhelming in this format throughout the year, and they desperately need their fortunes to change as they head to Trinidad.
On the other hand, the West Indies’ bowlers showcased their skills in the previous match, and captain Shai Hope guided them to a comfortable chase.
