India Vs West Indies Live - 1st ODI
Showtime! India begins their first ODI series as World Champions today. That is an added responsibility now to continue being the World Champs by winning every series they play on. Dominance in ODI cricket for next few years will prove the worth. Although the current team will miss the services of Sachin, Dhoni, Sehwag, Gambhir, Zaheer and Yuvraj; but the youngsters are good enough to clinch wins in West Indies.
1st T20 showcased the failure of top order but at the same time proved that India has a strong bench strength. Badrinath in particular was good with his bat. India has to better their performance today if they have to win. The reason being simple - Comeback of Pollard, Bravo and Sarwan in the host team.
Pollard and Bravo can contribute with both bat and ball. West Indies are always wary of slow bowling but Sarwan solves that problem to an extent. India may replace Ashwin with Ishant Sharma if the track for today is bouncy rather than low and slow.
With the likes of Raina, Badrinath, Kohli, Harbhajan, Sharma; India looks favourites but West Indies can't be written off on their home ground with equally matched and talented youngsters in their team.
