Team India selection in the last ODI was the talk of the town. To note, the Indian management was adamant to experiment with their side while at the same time giving rest to their two best players. In the absence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Indian batting-order failed miserably even after getting a great start by both the openers. The visitors got bundled out for just 181 runs.
India was blown out of the game by a West Indies team who won their first game against India in their last 10 matches. This is surely expected to boost their confidence as they have struggled for wins at the highest level and they will be looking to ride the momentum and clinch the series.
Meanwhile, senior all-rounder Hardik Pandya hinted during the interview at the toss that India’s two batting maestros are rested for the 2nd ODI and will return to the side in the third ODI and with them back, India should be favorites to win the match. However, the Men in Maroon cannot be taken lightly especially after their magical performance in the second ODI.
