India vs. West Indies: Can West Indies Make a Comeback?

After being outclassed in the first One Day International, West Indies would be looking to play according to their strengths and level the ODI series. Pollard eleven was completely taken to the cleaners by Sharma eleven, who played with the right balance and combination. India was in the game from the first ball, with their bowlers bowling on decent lines and lengths. Yuzvendra Chahal was always in the game as India had the advantage of playing seasoned spinners in the game. However, visitors are playing at Narendra Modi Stadium. Going in the second ODI of the series, India is likely to win the game and take the lead to 2-0.

India- Dominating in all Departments

India has always played well on their home turfs, focusing on their strengths and playing the right combination. With Rohit Sharma and Surya Kumar Yadav playing with the right mindset, West Indian bowlers would always feel the heat. Considering India’s strengths, their bowling department is much more experienced as compared to their batting lineup. With Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant, Deepak Hooda, Mohammad Siraj, Washington Sundar, and Shardul Thakar in the main playing eleven, India is likely to dominate the young West Indian lineup.

In the upcoming game, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would be among the key players for India. However, young batsmen might be able to contribute to the team’s overall performance. Rishabh Pant would also be aiming to gain his form back and dominate West Indian bowlers.

Key Players for India:

• Rohit Sharma;
• Ishan Kishan;
• Virat Kohli;
• Mohammad Siraj;
• ‌Yuzvendra Chahal.

West Indies- Searching for a Decent Comeback

West Indian players have played very limited cricket in Asian countries since 2016. Pollard is evidently struggling with batting form, and no such West Indian player is carrying the bat through and scoring big runs. With only Jason Holder scoring runs and playing with intent, West Indies can put up a decent show with the bat and play with positivity. Akeal Hosein would be among the key players for West Indies, along with Jason Holder. On the spinning wicket, West Indies are likely to play an additional spinner who can hold the ball in wicket and trouble Indian batsmen. Brandon King, Darren Bravo, and Nicholas Pooran need to come to the party and play with commitment and determination.

Key Players for West Indies:

• ‌Brandon King;
• ‌Nicholas Pooran;
• ‌Keiron Pollard;
• ‌Jason Holder;
• ‌Akeal Hosein.
