India [387/5] beat West Indies [280] by 107 runs in the 2nd ODI to level series 1-1

Kuldeep has higher potential clearly but really needs to focus, he might be one spinner that would do better without Dhoni’s intervention.

so many promising bowlers who can bowl pace with skill. yet we choose shardul thakur and Deepak fodder chahar? why? politics is involved for sure but c'mon I don't see any marketing quality in any of the latter 2 either to be called into the first team.

One of Saini and Krishna should be in our t20 wc squad as a back up pacer. Seeing Shardul trundling his heart out today was sad and frustrating at the same time. I was traumatized by the the horror of watching Vinay Kumar Steaming in at Perth, I became old that day, I don't think I will survive another trundler being ripped apart in Australia next year.

Chahar is quality, he just needs more time to be our dependable strike bowler. Not so much convinced about Shardul, need to see more of him. The other guys you mention bowl quick but not sure how effective they are. And if they go for runs, there will be calls to drop them which won't do anybody any good. They will get their opportunity in time though, we generally don't rush talent and give them time to develop. And also give guys a long(er) rope once they get selected.

A host of records fell on Wednesday as India recorded a comprehensive 107-run win over West Indies in the second ODI at Vizag.

The hosts put up an imposing total of 387/5, with a monumental opening partnership of 227 between KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma getting them there. Rohit’s 159 saw him rack up his seventh ODI century this year; only Sachin Tendulkar has hit more in a calendar year, leading the way with nine in 1998. The century also took Rohit’s international tally of tons this year to 10.

Rahul was the first wicket to fall, dismissed by Alzarri Joseph shortly after reaching his third ODI century. Captain Virat Kohli endured a rare failure, falling to Kieron Pollard for a golden duck, but Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant were able to put on quite the show after Rohit departed.

Pant’s 39 came from just 16 balls, while Iyer hit four sixes from Roston Chase’s fifth over, with the off-spinner deposited for 31 runs in total from that set of six. Although Pant was dismissed the next over, the pair’s partnership of 73 took up just 24 balls. The damage was severe; Jason Holder was the only bowler to go at under a run a ball in the innings.

Evin Lewis and Shai Hope safely took West Indies through the first 10 overs of the chase before Shardul Thakur made the opening breakthrough, removing Lewis for 30.

Shimron Hetmyer and Chase departed in quick succession, but some hope was sparked by a 106-run partnership between Nicolas Pooran and Hope. However, Mohammed Shami intervened with two wickets in two balls to put West Indies in further bother.

Shami wasn’t able to nab his second hat-trick of the year, but Kuldeep Yadav was in the mood. The wrist-spinner dismissed Hope, Holder and Joseph in consecutive deliveries.

Keemo Paul offered some resistance with a 42-ball 46, but his wicket brought an end to a thumping victory.
