India managed to score a below par 237/9 in 50 overs after being put in to bat by West Indies’ stand-in captain Nicholas Pooran in the 2nd ODI at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. India were rocked early as captain Rohit Sharma was sent back in the third over itself. The experiment to open the innings with Rishabh Pant also failed as he departed for a slow 18. Virat Kohli’s wretched run continued with another dismissal after being set in the middle.
The three quick wickets left India reeling at 43/3 and that brought the duo of KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav in the middle. Both batters mixed caution with aggression and eventually opened up against the Windies spinners to repair the innings.
But just when it looked like the duo will kick on and take India to a big total, an unfortunate incident led to KL Rahul’s dismissal. Batting on 48, Rahul pushed the ball in the deep through the covers. The duo ran the first run and while coming back for the second Rahul stuttered in the middle of the pitch for a second and that eventually led to his run out.
