While Chris Gayle struggled in the first ODI – he was fired for a 4:31 ball – he will have extra motivation for the game: The left-hander is only seven runs away from replacing Brian Lara as top scorer in the West Indies ODI cricket.
For India, skipper Kohli, who has scored the most runs against the West Indies since January 2012 with 1332 at 78.35, will be the key to the visitors. Kuldeep Yadav, who claimed Gayle’s wicket in the first game, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the most visited wicket taker in Port of Spain, are likely to lead the bowling attack.
