IND vs WI: Twitterati Reacts As India Secures ODI Series With One Match To Go

Rohit Sharma began his full-time stint as the white-ball captain with a series win as India won the second ODI by 44 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series against West Indies.

Chasing 238 on a spicy pitch, the Windies faltered their way to 76/5, losing Jason Holder and Nicholas Pooran in the process. A partnership ensued between Shamarh Brooks and Akeal Hosein which kept the visitors in the hunt.

Brooks fell with 121 runs to go but Hosein then teamed up with Fabian Allen to put on another partnership. Mohammed Siraj then brought India back on track by dismissing Allen and albeit some late drama involving Odean Smith, the game was safely in the hosts’ pocket.

Prasidh Krishna had an outstanding game and he ended up with a stunning spell of 4/12 in his nine overs including three maidens. He was virtually unplayable on the bouncy track and made use of everything on offer.

Earlier, having been put in to bat first, Rohit and co. lost three wickets early. Rishabh Pant was given the responsibility of opening and he got off to a start before being dismissed.

Rohit and Virat Kohli didn’t last long either. The returning KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav rebuilt the innings with a 91-run stand. The former fell one short of his fifty but Suryakumar carried and scored 64 before being dismissed. Eventually, lower-order cameos ensured India reached 237 in the 50-over limit.
