Prasidh Krishna, who looked off-colour in the first match, shifted his gears of consistency as he claimed four-for. His spell was exceptional in which he gave away just 12 runs in nine overs and scalped four wickets.

The top-order once again failed and left the middle order stranded. Even the middle order threw their wickets after a good start to their innings. There are certain things to improve for the West Indies in the third ODI to get away with the clean sweep.

India vs West Indies 3rd ODI Pitch Report:
As usual, the type of surface used will determine the conditions for the match. In the second ODI, a red soil pitch was used with a bit of grass cover. The pacers were able to fetch some good help from the surface due to the grass cover. The spinners will surely come into play once again as the bowl gets a bit old.
