On Friday, India claimed their seventh straight T20I win over the visitors, beating them comfortably by six wickets in the first game to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
A win on Sunday will not only help India seal their second series in the shortest format but also give them a chance to tests the fringe players as they continue their preparation for the T20 World Cup.
Toss Update:
Kieron Pollard has won the toss and West Indies will be bowling first. They have made one change to the side; Nicholas Pooran is back, Ramdin misses out.
“If you look at it, we want to come out and have a feel of it. We need to restrict them to a low total. We can't be critical on the batsmen, every time you score 200, you win a game. Hopefully, we come out and do things right today. We have some plans for the batsmen, we need to keep them from scoring. We need to execute our yorkers, we have been practising. The pressure is playing in front of thousands,” said Pollard at the toss.
On the other hand, India have fielded the same team that played in Hyderabad on Friday.
“Toss is uncontrollable. It's a nice and hard pitch, I think it should be a pretty good pitch to bat on during the first half. It's not a worry, we haven't defended too many totals in the past. It's a mindset thing, it's all about belief. Every game counts, we'll try to do things that we have not done in the past. That's the biggest revelation for me - if you never give up, things can change. It's the same team we are playing with,” said Kohli after losing the toss.
Here are the teams:
India: Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(w), Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, Yuzvendra Chahal
West Indies: Lendl Simmons, Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran(w), Shimron Hetmyer, Kieron Pollard(c), Jason Holder, Khary Pierre, Hayden Walsh, Sheldon Cottrell, Kesrick Williams
