All in readiness. The players walk out to the middle. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma are the openers for India. Ian Bishop rings the iconic bell at Eden Gardens. Spin to start with as Akeal Hosein has the ball. But before that, the players take the knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Now, we are ready and let's play says the umpire.
Rohit Sharma, the skipper of India says they need to get back to their basics, they need to understand the situation and take the game forward, they just want to come out and bat freely. Mentions that as a team they want to improve in all the departments, and that is their focus. There is always room for improvement and he says they want to get better every game. Concludes by saying that they are playing with the same team.
Kieron Pollard, the skipper of West Indies, says that it looks a good track to bat on and the last game dew was the factor. They want to avoid that. Mentions that they will try to bowl first and limit them to a low total. States that they will try and continue to execute their skills. Informs that they have made one change in their team. Jason Holder is fit and he is in for Fabian Allen.
India (Unchanged Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Venkatesh Iyer, Harshal Patel, Deepak Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi
West Indies (Playing XI) - Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Roston Chase, Rovman Powell, Kieron Pollard (C), Jason Holder (In for Fabian Allen), Akeal Hosein, Odean Smith, Romario Shepherd, Sheldon Cottrell.
TOSS - Up goes the coin and it lands in the favor of Kieron Pollard. West Indies have elected BOWL first.
West Indies have a powerful batting line-up, but they have not been able to display their magic yet. Coming into this game, they will want the middle-order, in particular, to step up. West Indies could make a few changes. We did see Akeal Hosein being promoted up the order which did not work in their favor. However, they could shuffle things once more. They could get in Jason Holder, who has been in some fine touch with the ball and bat. He could prove to be a threat. They do have the quality in their ranks and are well and truly capable of leveling this series here. Also, Kieron Pollard is all set to play his 100th T20I game, so he would love to reflex with a win. Stay tuned for the toss and team news.
India have been dominating in this entire series so far. We have seen the top-order firing, Rohit Sharma in particular, and the middle-order chipping in with vital runs. However, Virat Kohli has not been at his best and he will want to get some runs under his belt and give a solid start to India in case of an early wicket. Ravi Bishnoi in his first game was one of the main architects behind India's victory in the first T20I, he will want to continue in the same way. Rohit Sharma and his men look unstoppable and they will want to carry on the same way and seal the series.
Hello and a warm welcome to the second T20I between the two power-packed sides, India and West Indies. India clinched the first game convincingly and have taken a 1-0 lead in this series. West Indies are still in search of their first victory in this tour. But this is the format that is best suited for the Men in Maroon, and we can never write them off. They will look to level the series in this match.
