India vs West Indies, 2nd ODI: Preview
The home side won the series-opener at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram in a canter. While the West Indies, who batted first, seemed to be on track to set India up for a massive chase, Kuldeep Yadav’s wicket-taking ability in the middle overs proved to be decisive. The left-arm wrist-spinner’s outstanding figures of 10-1-40-4 was the game-changer as the Caribbeans were restricted to 295 where they were once looking at a total of at least 320. In response, Virat Kohli (139*) and Shubman Gill (110) struck pristine centuries to take Team India over the line only in 41.4 overs with eight wickets to spare.
With Justin Greaves scoring a hundred for the tourists, an injury has ruled him out of the must-win fixture. Greaves’ injury rendered him unavailable on the field during India’s batting, depriving the visitors of an extra bowling option. Their bowling unit looked listless in the face of a mighty Indian batting line-up. Hence, they need vast improvement across facets to level the series.

India vs West Indies, Prediction
The crucial injury blow to the Caribbeans has reduced their chance of levelling the series even more. Team India look in excellent nick to take an unassailable 2-0 lead and the prediction is for the Men in Blue to win.
