India's pace puzzle, Kohli in focus in 2nd ODI
Guwahati: The second one-day international between India and the West Indies will see India's batting prowess take centre stage, with new focus on their pace bowling combination. The spotlight will be on Virat Kohli, who recently scored a record-breaking century in the series opener, while Shubman Gill also chipped in with a hundred.
India's pacers, lacking Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, looked less impressive, while Mohammed Siraj was kept aside for Nitish Kumar Reddy's debut in the squad. Reddy, returning from a left quadriceps injury, struggled with rhythm and accuracy, conceding 18 runs from an over. This led to Justin Greaves' maiden ODI hundred and a competitive West Indies score of 295/7. Shubman Gill removed Reddy with the new ball, showing India's dilemma in their bowling options.
