IND vs WI | 2nd ODI: India in command after bowlers rattle West Indies

India fast bowler Prasidh Krishna ripped through the West Indies top and middle-order during the second ODI of the series in Ahmedabad. The home side after batting first managed to put 237/9 in 50 overs and West Indies were off to a steady start with openers Shai Hope and Brandon King putting up 32 runs for the first wicket. 

But it was in the 8th over when Krishna provided India with the first breakthrough as he sent King packing for a 20-ball 18 after he was caught by Pant behind the stumps. 

The right-arm bowler then followed this with another scalp after he removed Darren Bravo for 1 off 3. He was also caught behind by Pant. Hope was then joined by Shamarh Brooks in the middle and the two batters tried to provide but couldn't really add many runs to the tally. 

Hope was the third batsman to go back in the hut after being caught by Suryakumar Yadav off Chahal for 27 off 54, leaving West Indies struggling at 52/3. But the misery didn't end here as Krishna then returned to remove Pooran for 9 off 13 while Shardul Thakur picked up the priced wicket of Jason Holder as the Caribbean side was left tottering at 76/5. 

Brooks was later joined by Akeal Hosein and the two batters tried to steady the ship as they chipped in with 41 runs for the sixth wicket. Just when the visiting team was looking stable in the chase a bit, Deepak Hooda who had made his debut in the previous match came in for his first over and got rid of Brooks who was caught by Suryakumar for 44 off 64.
