Shikhar Dhawan will add more firepower to a ruthless India, who are faced with the problem of plenty, as they eye a clean sweep of West Indies in an inconsequential third ODI here on Friday.

Trying To "Boss The Opposition": Ex-India Cricketers On Virat Kohli's Dismissal In 2nd ODI vs West Indies

Former India cricketers Laxman Sivaramakrishnan and Murali Kartik analysed Virat Kohli's dismissal in the 2nd ODI against West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. Kohli, who hasn't been at his best of late, was once again out flashing outside the off-stump to a medium pacer. Odean Smith, who came into the West Indies XI after regular captain Kieron Pollard was unavailable due to a niggle, gave India a body blow by picking the wickets of Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli in the same over. While Pant was out trying heave a delivery from way outside the off stump, Kohli edged a wide one to the keeper in the last ball of the 12th over. Edging the ball to the slip cordon while chasing fuller length deliveries outside the off stump, has been one of the most common modes of dismissals for the former India captain.

I worked on sidelining the distraction and work on my process," Hooda told teammate Suryakumar Yadav in a video posted on BCCI.TV.
