In the first match played in the first match played in Chennai against the West Indies, the challenge is to return to the second ODI in front of the unilateral team. In Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, both teams will take off for the second ODI. The Windies have taken a 1-0 lead on the basis of excellent batting in the first match and now their eyes are on winning the series. This match will start at 1.30 pm.
This challenge was because the combination of the Indian team in the first match was the reason for his defeat. In this match also, if captain Virat Kohli does not come out with the right combination, then it will not be a surprise that the number nine team in ODIs will beat the second-ranked India once again and make the series their names. Winning the series here will increase the stature of Kieron Pollard, but it will not be easy for him to stop Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma on this pitch.
The bowling of the Indian team was weak in the first match. Shimron Hetmeyer and Shai Hope scored easily on Indian bowlers and led the team to victory. Here Deepak Chahar, Shivam Dubey could not perform the kind of performance that was needed. The same situation was also with Mohammed Shami. Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja were also not able to leave an impact in the spinners.
In the second match, India can change the bowling. The possibility of Kohli coming down with the changed combination in batting also cannot be ruled out. Kedar Jadhav can be sent out here. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer had brought India to a respectable score by playing half-century innings in Chennai, but in the end there were not many runs after these two were dismissed.
India can change the combination in batting and bowling, but another concern is fielding. Fielding of India from T20 to ODI has not been very good. In the last match too, Shreyas left the catch of Hetmyer. Mistakes have emerged as a major drawback in Team India.
