2nd ODI: India look to seal series against West Indies
KL Rahul's batting position on his return from a short break as a buoyant India aim for another demolition act against the West Indies in the second ODI to seal the three-match series here on Wednesday.

India had just lost the wickets of Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant quickly and needed a partnership to halt West Indies' momentum. Hooda and Suryakumar did just that with their 62-run fifth-wicket stand. Hooda received plenty of praise on social media and in particular from former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan, who watched his debut innings while stuck in traffic.
