PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Krishna: "Surely Jadeja at number 7 is enough depth in batting. Need a specialist bowler to take wickets in middle overs."
Sandeep Pangeni: "India is missing Bumrah."
Aaryan: "India's strategy of going in with only 4 front-line bowlers has backfired a lot of times now. What's the use of putting even 350 runs on the board if you don't have the bowling lineup to defend it. They must look into this."
Shanthi Swaroop: The confidence this team gained after Pollard arrival is clearly seen in both bowling and batting.. Hope board also considers Gayle Narine and others as well
Shikhar: Lovely to watch Hetmyer bat, especially against spinners. He's making a strong statement for the upcoming IPL auction. No doubt he will be one of the most sought after players by all the franchises.
Rahul Sargam: Hope to hear "Shimron Hetmyer" remember the name from Ian Bishop by the end of the match.
Narayan P Tripathi from Nepal: Hetmyer is the important man for Windies, he was the major reason for Windies to give tough competition to the Indian side on their previous tour and if he continues to play like this, then there will be no wonder if WI win the series
Trinadh: "It was a brain fade moment for the umpire."
Ganesh Narasimhan: "On the Jadeja run out, I think it's better, that all 3 umpires have the right to make decision and communicate with each other."
Praneeth: "India should aim at least 305 from here."
Abinash Das: "The notable thing about Indian Innings is that the middle order haven't thrown it away and have stitched together valuable partnerships."
Poorna: "Both are well settled. It seems to be the perfect time to accelerate the run rate." --- That's exactly what they are doing.
Varun Gupta: "Iyer is on his way to score big today."
Vishnu: "West Indies have found a good captain in the form of Kieron Pollard to lead this young side in white ball cricket. His field placements have been immaculate on this tour"
AkhileshGanathe: "What if Dhawan and Pandya are fit and gets their place in XI. Who would be out of the team? Iyer and Dube?" ---- Rahul and Dube.
Jaimin: "I would love to see Shreyas Iyer score big in this game with Pant and Dubey providing support. India need to find the answer to over-reliance on Rohit and Virat."
Bhavya: "Perfect opportunity for Pant and Iyer to seal their spot in the team."
Vaibhav: "Interesting passage of play coming up. Let's see whether both the youngsters can utilise this opportunity."
