On his chemistry with Rohit, Rahul says that they first try to understand the conditions and then plan things accordingly. Tells that he was hitting the balls well here so he took the opportunity. Says that they plan as to which bowler one will target and it came off for them in this game.

If Windies chase this down now, it is going to be an unbelievable one! They will need someone to play an extraordinary innings if they are to gun this down. Will they do so and take the series or will we have a decider? Right now the latter looks more likelier. Stay tuned for the chase but for now KL Rahul is seen giving an interview.

Not a lot you can write about a team who has been hit for so many runs! Except for Holder. every bowler went for over 6 an over. Forget 6, there were 2 who went for above 9 per over and 1 who went for over 8 per over. Not a day to remember for the visitors' bowlers.

Such a massive score set by India and guess what? Their skipper, Virat Kohli, contributed nothing in that. How often do you see the hosts piling such a huge total but without any contribution from their skipper. However, the rest of the batters enjoyed the conditions out there. It was the openers who laid the foundation with a 200-plus run stand. Both scored tons before Rahul departed. Rohit continued and surpassed 150. Just as everyone thought there is another 200 on the cards for him, he edged one to the keeper. Then Iyer and Pant joined association and it was an onslaught from thereone The two amassed 50 runs in no time before Pant fell. Iyer also departed after getting to his half ton. When the two were batting 400 looked possible but India fell well short in the end.

We do not think we need to mention which side will be the happier of two heading into the break! 387! The score says it all! What a batting performance this one.

We are all ready for the action now. The Indian openers, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul now walk out to the middle. They are followed by the West Indian side. Sheldon Cottrell to bowl first up. Rohit to face first up. Here we go...

The players from both the sides are observing 1 minute silence in the memory of Basil Butcher, former West Indies batsman.

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli (C), Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (WK), Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur (IN FOR SHIVAM DUBE), Kuldeep Yadav.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Shai Hope (WK), Evin Lewis (IN FOR SUNIL AMBRIS), Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran, Roston Chase, Kieron Pollard (C), Jason Holder, Keemo Paul, Alzarri Joseph, Sheldon Cottrell, Khary Pierre (DEBUT, IN FOR HAYDEN WALSH).

Virat Kohli, the India skipper, says that they wanted to field as well. Adds that they have a change in the side and would look to do better in the field. Feels that in the first innings too, there will be a lot of runs will be offer. The Indian skipper tells that dew was not much of a factor in the last game and it only came in the last 10 overs. Credits Hetmyer and Hope for their brilliant performance. Tells that they need to be sharp in the field and need to show that in body language. Says that they would look to be more brave and bring intensity to the game. Lets everyone know that Shardul Thakur is their one replacement for the game which has been taken by keeping dew into consideration.

West Indian skipper, Kieron Pollard, says that there are a lot of variables in the game and hence the decision to bowl first. Tells that they are unknown to the pitch so they would like to see how it behaves. On West Indies' last series win in India sometime back in 2016, Pollard feels that he cannot do anything about the records. Says that the side will look to tick as many boxes as possible. Pollard reveals that Lewis is fit and he replaces Ambris and Khary Pierre makes his debut and replaces Hayden Walsh.

TOSS - Up goes the coin and it lands in the favour of the visitors once again. WEST INDIES WILL BOWL FIRST.

Pitch report - Sanjay Manjrekar is in for the pitch report. Tells that Kohli has a superb record on this ground. He is joined by Gavaskar who says that the pitch is looking very good for batting. Feels that it will come onto the bat nicely and the batters need not worry about deviation off the surface. Gavaskar says that it is a pretty hard and solid surface and there will be a lot of runs on offer. Feels that the side which wins the toss will look to chase the target.

On a sluggish wicket in the first ODI, the visitors, led by Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope's brilliant tons helped West Indies take a 1-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series. India did miss the 5th regular bowler as Hetmyer went bonkers against the likes of Jadeja and Dube. Now, coming into this game, what will be India's strategy? Will they bring in an extra bowler at the cost of an all-rounder? Interesting to see the combination Virat Kohli fields for this game. The visitors, on the other hand, would look to seal a rare series win against a top side and will once again depend on the likes of Hope and Hetmyer with the bat. Sheldon Cottrell was superb with the ball in the last game and look to give his side a similar start. This is a rare scenario for the Windies with an opportunity to win an ODI series against a top-ranked side. Hello and a warm welcome to the second ODI between India and West Indies in Visakhapatnam.
