IND vs WI: West Indies win the toss and opt to bowl first

Pooran will be leading the team as Pollard is unavailable for today’s game.

West Indies have won the toss and opt to bowl first as skipper Pollard is unavailable for the 2nd ODI as his fitness remains a question. Pooran is leading the team today and has won the toss to bowl first.

Skipper Rohit seems satisfied with the toss as he wanted to bat first but states that he wants to put enough runs on the board. India has one change for the 2nd ODI as KL Rahul comes back, replacing Ishan Kishan and might open with the skipper. KL Rahul is also the vice-captain for the remaining games in the series.
