India prepares for second ODI against West Indies in Guwahati
Summary

India faces the West Indies in the second ODI on Wednesday at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati at 2:00 PM IST. In the series opener, India chased down 296 runs in under 42 overs, featuring a record-breaking century from Virat Kohli and another hundred from captain Shubman Gill. Kuldeep Yadav's 4-40 was critical for India, though concerns exist over the pace bowling without Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Mohammed Siraj was omitted from the first match, raising questions about India's bowling strategy ahead of next year’s ODI World Cup. The conditions in Guwahati historically favor high scores, adding pressure on bowlers.
