India vs West Indies 2022: Hits and Flops as the hosts take an unassailable 2-0 lead with their victory in the 2nd ODI

#2. Flop - Virat Kohli (India)

Virat Kohli had the perfect opportunity today to score big runs and get India to a mammoth total. However, the veteran once again failed to get going and wasn't able to make any significant contribution with the bat.

Playing his 100th ODI on Indian soil, Kohli came to bat following Rohit's wicket in the third over. Unlike his previous innings in the first ODI, the right-hander initially seemed a bit cautious. While he smashed three confident boundaries en route to his 30-ball 18, Odean Smith set him up with a series of bouncers.

Bowling his second over of the game, Smith bowled four back-to-back short deliveries to the former India captain. He then pitched the delivery a little further fuller, inciting Kohli to play a cover-drive. Kohli's issues with outside-off stump deliveries in red-ball cricket carried over to this game as well. He tried to slash with hard hands and got a thick edge which was caught by Shai Hope.

He, however, looked frustrated with himself following his wicket which left India reeling at 43-3.

#1. Hit - Prasidh Krishna (India)

Prasidh Krishna was the undisputed hero for India in the 2nd ODI vs West Indies [P.C: ICC] .

Unequivocally, Prasidh Krishna was India's best player on display in the second one-day international. With only 237 on board, the Indian bowlers, led by Krishna, raised their hands to deliver for their nation.

The tall, lanky pacer bowled a beautiful spell and repeatedly rushed the West Indies batsman with his pace and bounce. Extracting extra bounce from the Ahmedabad surface, Krishna delivered a much-needed breakthrough for India in his very first over.

The 25-year-old then followed it up with an excellent wicket-maiden over, dismissing Darren Bravo in the process. Krishna, who kept bashing good length areas, got rid of stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran in his next spell. The right-armer single-handedly ran through the Caribbean top-order.

The Karnataka pacer also took the last wicket of the game, finishing with a magnificent four-fer and the Player of the Match award. His match-winning figures read - 9-3-12-4.
