The T20I series between India and West Indies enters the second match of the three-match series, with Team India just one win away from sealing the series. The Indians have been in great form at home, with a clear 3-0 victory in the ODI series against the Windies and a 1-0 lead in the T20 series. They have not been troubled in any of the departments and they are clear favorites heading into this game.
The West Indies started their tour of India on a high note, but they were just not able to adapt to the conditions and as such, failed to register a single win in the ongoing series. They still have a chance at staying alive in the T20I series, but they will have to win this game without fail.
The second T20I between India and West Indies is scheduled to take place on the 18th of February, 2022 at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

The pitch at the Eden Gardens is one of the few pitches in India where both the fast bowlers and the spinners get the same amount of support. In the last few years, we have seen that defending a total has become an impossible task here. Hence, the team winning the toss would look to bowl.

India vs West Indies 2nd T20I – Players to Watch
Rohit Sharma
The Indian skipper was in full flow in the last T20 game against the West Indies where he scored a blitz 40 runs from just 19 deliveries. He has a great record at the Eden Gardens and he will be looking to seal the series this match with another great knock.
Ravi Bishnoi
The debutant was an absolute treat to watch in the last match where he scalped 2 wickets from 4 overs and he also became the eighth Indian player to win the player of the match award on his debut. We expect to see him get another game to show his mettle.
Roston Chase
He was not very effective with the bat for the West Indies in the first T20, but he compensated by scalping both Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. He will be looking to leave a better impression of his skills in the upcoming game.
