Siraj Boost for India's Bowling in 2nd ODI vs WI

India eyes an unassailable series lead vs West Indies in the 2nd ODI. Mohammed Siraj may feature as WI's Greaves is ruled out due to injury.

India, having secured a dominant eight-wicket win in the first ODI against the West Indies, is preparing for the second match. The team, led by Shubman Gill, is considering strategic changes to its bowling lineup, potentially bringing in Mohammed Siraj. This move aims to strengthen the attack, which showed some expensive spells in the previous encounter.

The West Indies have suffered a significant blow as opener Justin Greaves has been ruled out of the second ODI due to a calf injury. Greaves was instrumental in their first ODI total with a century. His absence is expected to lead to changes at the top of their batting order, with teenage batter Jewel Andrew likely to open alongside John Campbell.

India's spin bowling coach indicated that the series is an opportunity to test different team combinations and assess bowlers for various game phases. This approach could see further alterations in the playing XI to evaluate player suitability and depth within the squad.

With the series currently 1-0 in favor of India, the hosts are eager to secure an unassailable lead at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. The match is scheduled for Wednesday.
