What's the batting line-up today?

The Indian team is expected to revert to its established batting order in the second ODI against West Indies, aiming for an improved performance with the bat to secure an unassailable lead in the three-match series.

Hardik Pandya to lead India, no Rohit Sharma today..

West Indies have won the toss and have opted to field

"Is the team management waiting for Ruturaj to run out of form before introducing him in the playing XI? " He'll captain India's second-string side in the Asian games, so he's in the teams plans.

Shai Hope: We are going to bowl first, we saw what happened in the last game. The conditions will assist the bowlers. We got two games to play, so we got to win this one to stay alive. It has been a bit unpredictable. Both teams have to play on the same surface. We got to bowl first and put them under pressure. Powell, Drakes out, Alzarri Joseph and Keacy Carty are in.

Rohit and Virat both not playing today?😲

Hardik Pandya: We were looking to bat first. We want to see how much we can score on this pitch which is a bit up and down. Rohit and Virat have been playing constant cricket, few questions need to be answered for us so they are resting in this game. They can be fresh for the third ODI. I think when you get someone out for 115, it's a good effort from the bowlers. Our catching was impressive, but we can improve in certain areas. Instead of losing five wickets, we could have lost only two wickets and finished the last game. Sanju Samson and Axar Patel come in for Rohit and Virat.

Yup correct so gud opportunity for others

Jaydon Seales: I was nervous coming into the game but the fact that my body could handle it was pleasing. For me, my lengths need are consistent and I force batters to do something different. (Challenges in the first game) Conditions were trickier when batting first. We did better with the ball and want to do things better. Execution, being consistent and trusting our process is important to turn things around.
