    The Indian bowling was once again spot on. Khaleel Ahmed was the start at the start. He was given the new ball and he impressed one and all. He finished with the two-fer. Everybody except Krunal Pandya had two wickets each to their name. Kumar ended with the best figures as he went for only 12 in his 4. All-in-all it was a clinical performance by the Indians. Stay tuned for the presentation.

    Another thumping performance from India has seen them seal the series with a game to go. To be honest, it was all set up by their skipper, Rohit Sharma who scored a magnificent ton to set a massive target for the Windies. They needed an exceptional start to chase this down but did not get it. Their top order failed to make an impact, their middle order once again did not come to fore. 23 was the highest score of their innings and that itself speaks a lot about how poor they have been with the bat.
