India's Ishan Kishan plays a shot. (AP Photo/Altaf Qadri)India vs West Indies 2nd ODI Playing XI Prediction: Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid is someone who doesn’t belives in chopping and changes and that too if the team has won the previous match. Having won the first game by three runs, another victory will give India a successive ODI series win in the Caribbean.
But India’s concern would be their middl-order. It was a perfect top-three act by the Indian team in the first ODI, but a middle-order collapse followed and India settled for 308 for 7 after being in a position to go beyond 350. In the middle-order, the spotlight would be on Sanju Samson the batter as he once again failed to make use of the opportunity at this level, returning with an 18-ball 12.
The Kerala stumper, however, made up for his lack of runs with a stunning boundary save at the death, which played a part in India pulling off a win in the last-ball of the match with Mohammed Siraj defending 15 runs. On Sunday, the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Samson, Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel would like to deliver.
