Primarily made possible by Kohli, Hetmyer and Hope, the three protagonists
Did the stirring chase by West Indies overshadow the 10,000-run milestone achieved by Virat Kohli here on Wednesday? Or was it the other way round?
Whatever the case, the second ODI between India and West Indies made for spectacular viewing. This was made possible primarily by three outstanding knocks from the two camps — Kohli, and the West Indian duo of Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope.
Batting first, batting second — it makes little difference to Kohli. The India skipper showed that he has an outstanding cricket mind which allows him to change his game according to the conditions and the match-situation.
The pitch was not quite the batting beauty seen at Guwahati. The ball gripped the surface, which made it difficult to hit through the line. West Indies captain Jason Holder was wise to it and brought on spinner Ashley Nurse in the seventh over.
Immediate effect
The move worked almost immediately, as Nurse took out Shikhar Dhawan early. Kohli, normally one to attack from the word go, took a more measured approach.
