🏏West Indies VS India, 2nd T20I: Providence Stadium, Guyana🏏 - Page 3

India have won the toss and have opted to bat

Hardik: We will bat first, surface looks good. We will put good score on the board. I don't we did much wrong in the last game, we spoke about it and the focus is to learn and keep going ahead. When we have these totals, you gotta keep wickets in hand and that's what happened in the last game where we lost a couple of wickets during crunch moments. We have a forched change

Toss time: Hardik calls "heads" and heads it is

Kuldeep got a hit on the hand yesterday in the nets, it is not serious and just a precautionary measure. Ravi Bishnoi comes in place of him.

Thank you for the tag Viswasruti 😊

"The wicket should get better as the day goes on," says Rovman Powell, West Indies captain. "We didn't lose wickets in clusters, which was good to see. We are a boundary-hitting team but know how important the singles and doubles are." West Indies are unchanged.

Powell: Looks a pretty good surface and hopefully gets better as the day goes along. We didn't lose wickets in clusters in the last game which was good to see. We have grown as players and it is about continuing to do the right things and keep improving as a batting unit. We are going with the same team.

Suryakumar Yadav plays his 50th T20I today. And how India dearly wish he comes good given that they have seven batters and are batting first. Daren Ganga made a quick observation at the toss that Powell was looking quite relaxed. Yes, they are here on the back of a win but it also says a lot about the young man as a captain.
