With star India batter Virat Kohli continuing his march towards the 2027 ODI World Cup and the West Indies weakened by Justin Greaves’ injury-enforced absence, another high-octane contest awaits at the ACA Stadium.
India will look to clinch a series victory in the second one-day international match in Guwahati on Wednesday. The hosts’ batting fired on all cylinders, but their struggling bowling attack remains a major concern as the focus shifts towards the ICC ODI World Cup 2027 in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
The Shubman Gill-led Men in Blue were in sublime form in the series-opening ODI clash in Thiruvananthapuram, with Virat Kohli, Gill and Kuldeep Yadav annihilating the Caribbean men with their exceptional performances.
India’s pace department looked to be lacking without Bumrah. Nitish Kumar Reddy rolled his arm with the new ball and picked up one wicket, while Prasidh Krishna claimed two scalps.
India & West Indies set for high-octane action
India came out guns blazing in the first ODI and will aim to continue a similar performance in the upcoming match in Guwahati. Captain Gill and Kohli will be in focus, while fans will also keep an eye on opener Rohit Sharma.
Kohli, in particular, delivered a record-breaking performance, becoming only the second batter after the legendary Sachin Tendulkar to score over 15,000 ODI runs. The Indian batter has been fine-tuning his skills for the upcoming ODI World Cup, which he confirmed would be his final ICC tournament for the country.

Losing an in-form player could be a huge problem for the Windies as they have to shake up their playing XI in Guwahati.
