India vs West Indies 2nd ODI: Team News
India are unlikely to make wholesale changes after their dominant eight-wicket win in the series opener, although the team could assess its combination with the 2027 ODI World Cup in mind.
West Indies will have to regroup quickly after losing Justin Greaves to injury ahead of the Guwahati encounter. Greaves, who scored his maiden ODI hundred in the series opener, strained his calf during his innings and has been ruled out of the second match. His absence leaves the visitors without one of the few batters who made a significant impact in the opening game.
