The game will get underway at 10:00 pm IST instead of the original time of 8:00 pm IST. The organizers had to delay the start due to the late arrival of cricketers’ luggage.
Confirming this in a statement, CWI said:
The West Indies board also expressed their regret to all the stakeholders for the inconvenience caused. The statement added:
The visitors currently lead the five-match series 1-0 after a convincing victory by 68 runs in the first game. Batting first, the Men in Blue posted 190, before restricting West Indies to 122 runs.
“Some changes will have to be done in the team” - Aakash Chopra on India’s playing XI for 2nd T20I
Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has suggested the tourists will have to make some changes to their playing XI for the second game of the series. Rohit Sharma and Co. fielded three spinners in the first game but will have to resort to more pacers, given that the wicket in St Kitts favors fast bowlers.
Speaking on his YouTube channel on Monday, Chopra said:
Predicting his playing XI for the second T20I, Chopra reckoned that Suryakumar Yadav would continue to open the innings, while the management might try Sanju Samson in place of Shreyas Iyer.
The cricketer-turned-commentator feels it will be a tough call for India to choose between Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi as the second spinner alongside Ravindra Jadeja. He said:
Aakash Chopra’s playing XI for the 2nd T20I: Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer/Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin/Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel.
