After facing a shocking eight-wicket of the series, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul gave India a blistering start in the second ODI against West Indies and added 227 runs for the first wicket. Both the batsmen also scored their individual century and put their side firmly on the driver’s seat. Rahul fell prey to Alzarri Joseph on 102. However, Hitman is still going strong and is cruising towards a mammoth total. In the previous match, both the batsmen failed to put on a significant score and have certainly redeemed themselves. Twitterati also lauded the fantastic batting display from the Indian openers and praised him from head to toe. India Vs West Indies, Live Cricket Score 2nd ODI Match.
