Team India sealed a 2‑0 series victory over the West Indies with a commanding 8‑wicket win in the second ODI at the ACA Barsapara Stadium.
The visitors, led by Justin Greaves’ century in the first ODI, looked competitive early in the series. However, India’s bowlers, spearheaded by Kuldeep Yadav’s four‑wicket haul, restricted West Indies to 295/7 in Guwahati, preventing them from reaching a potentially match‑winning total of 350.
India’s chase was anchored by captain Shubman Gill, who continued his golden run with another fluent innings, supported by veteran Virat Kohli, who appears to have rediscovered peak form. Their partnership ensured India comfortably crossed the target, leaving little chance for a West Indies comeback.
The victory also reignited discussions around Rohit Sharma’s form, with the former captain struggling for consistency compared to Kohli’s resurgence. India’s selectors face decisions on balancing experience with emerging talent like Nitish Kumar Reddy, while considering the return of Mohammed Siraj for upcoming fixtures.
With this win, India not only clinched the series but also showcased depth in both batting and bowling, strengthening their preparations for future tours and ICC events.
