One other factor that left giant sections of the Indian fan base in addition to many former India cricketers scratching their heads was the large chopping and altering.
Virat Kohli andRohit Sharma had been rested for the second ODI and Axar Patel batted at Quantity 4.
The results of the second ODI additionally meant that the third ODI on Tuesday now turns into the collection decider.
After India’s shock loss within the 2nd ODI, these are a number of the issues that present and former cricketers needed to say:
Hardik Pandya: We did not bat like we had been presupposed to. The wicket performed loads higher than the final one. But it surely’s simply that I feel barring Shubman, everybody performed their shot and sort of received out or hit the fielder instantly, and yeah, disappointing, however on the identical level of time, many, many extra issues to study. To be trustworthy, you need to be going 1-1 to the third recreation because it’ll be tougher and thrilling.

Rahul Dravid: Now we have to check out different folks and we’ve to provide different folks some probabilities in order that we, you realize, within the worst case state of affairs, at the very least they’ve recreation time behind them. It offers us a possibility to make some selections on gamers. , we simply felt that truthfully, in a collection like this, with solely two-three matches to go earlier than the Asia Cup, you realize, taking part in and truthfully wouldn’t have given us, you realize, too many solutions. However, you realize, with the accidents that we’ve within the NCA and a few form of uncertainty round them, we needed to provide a number of the different boys an opportunity in order that if required, then you realize they will play
Shai Hope: I am comfortable so long as my contributions result in the win. When issues are troublesome, you’ve got to search out methods to attain rapidly. So you’ve got to run laborious, we received twos which helped. Very happy, the goal was to get again to the collection. Now we have received to win yet another time and want to come back again strongly. Now we have received to place within the effort and right now we displayed the precise perspective, and want to duplicate that in all disciplines. It was a whole efficiency. We need to tick the bins and get the precise outcome within the closing recreation.
Venkatesh Prasad (on Twitter): Take a look at cricket apart, India has been very atypical within the different two codecs for fairly a while now. Misplaced ODI collection in opposition to BAN, SA and AUS. Poor within the final two T20 World Cups. Neither are we an thrilling crew like England nor brutal like how the Aussies was.
Regardless of the cash and energy, we’ve develop into used to celebrating mediocrity and are removed from how champion sides are. Each crew performs to win and so does India however their strategy and perspective can be an element for underperformance over a time period.
Sunil Joshi (to TOI): For those who needed to play a relatively youthful crew on this ODI collection, then Rohit and Virat mustn’t have been picked for it. Secondly the West Indies haven’t even certified for the World Cup, so it does not matter if Rohit and Virat performed on this collection or not. This collection is irrelevant. So, the selectors ought to have thought of sending a younger crew to see how the gamers address the strain of worldwide cricket. This was the right time to establish a younger captain too.
Rohit and Virat performed within the first ODI, did not play the second match and now with the collection on the road will clearly return for the series-decider. I do not get the purpose of all this.
Simply have a look at Shikhar Dhawan’s numbers in white-ball cricket. He’ll all the time be an asset within the ODI format, particularly in India. His expertise and fabulous data within the ICC tournaments should not be ignored. Throughout my tenure with the nationwide choice committee.
The third and closing ODI between India and the West Indies can be performed on August 1 in Tarouba, Trinidad. Match begin time is 7PM IST.
