West Indies were never really in the run chase as the hosts lost wickets at regular intervals. Jason Mohammed (40) and Rovman Powell (30) looked good for a brief period but nothing that would suggest that they would have taken the match away from the Indians. For the visitors, Ravichandran Ashwin was the pick of the bowlers who returned with figures of 3 for 28 as Kuldeep Yadav gave him good support by picking up three wickets as well. West Indies were bowled out for 158 as India go 2-0 up in the series by winning the second ODI by 93 runs. Earlier, the Indian batsmen found going difficult on a slow pitch but Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 78 and Kedar Jadhav's quick-fire 40 helped India reach 251 at the end of the 50 overs. (Scorecard)

World number three India showed their might in the second game with a 105-run drubbing of the hosts, which highlighted the gulf between the two teams. In the second match, the bowlers stifled the home steam with their impeccable line and length after India's top three batsmen - Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli -delivered the goods as they recorded their biggest ever victory in the West Indies.
