Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna put on a brilliant display with the ball as India defeated West Indies in the second 💯ODI to take✅ an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Defending a modest total of 238, India bundled out West Indies on 193 a𓆉nd won the game bꦦy 44 runs.
While Krishna recorded his best figures in ODI cricket – 4/12, Shardul Thakur bagged two wickets.
Deepak Hooda also took his maiden international wicket as the In♒dian bowlers dominated the proceedings on the sluggish surface of the Na💫rendra Modi Stadium.
Earlier, after being put on to bat, India recovered well from their top-order failure to post a competitive 237/9 in 50 overs. Suryakumar Kumar top-scored with 64 (83) while vice-captain KL Rahul made 49 off 48 balls.
The Rohit Sharma-led India will now look to register a clean sweep over the Windies with a win in the third and last ODI, ꦰscheduled to be played at the same venue on Friday.

It might not be your day, but still it's vital to not lose hope and still find a way. That's exactly what team India did today. They found a way to win even on an off day. Well played and congratulations 👏🏼👏🏼

Prasidh Krishna has been terrific with his line & length. Tall bowler who gets extra bounce. Won't be a bad idea to give him the Test cap. Can be a good option in all conditions

This is India's 11th successive ODI bilateral series win over the West Indies since Jan 2007.
