India are riding high after an impressive eight-wicket win in the first ODI, and now they head to Guwahati for the second match against the West Indies with a clear goal: seal the series. The game will be played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium on September 30, starting at 2:00 PM IST. Gujarat Titans and India captain Shubman Gill set the tone right from the start in the opener, winning the toss and choosing to field first. The West Indies put up 295/7, with John Campbell scoring 62, Justin Greaves hitting 101, and Amir Jangoo adding 58.

India's bowlers hit back hard. Kuldeep Yadav was the standout with 4/40, while Prasidh Krishna chipped in with two wickets, keeping his economy at six. Chasing 296, skipper Shubman Gill opened with Rohit Sharma before teaming up with Virat Kohli. Gill played a brilliant knock of 110 off 108 balls, bringing up his 10th ODI century with 13 fours and a six. Kohli then took over with a stunning unbeaten 139 off just 88 balls, crossing 15,000 ODI runs and scoring his 55th century in the format. India reached the target comfortably with eight wickets in hand.

The West Indies will be looking to fight back in Guwahati. Their batters will want to build on what they achieved in the first game, while the bowling attack will be aiming for a much stronger performance. For India, the plan is simple. Gill and his team want to keep the momentum going and wrap up the series with another solid showing.

Players to watch out for

Shubman Gill: The captain comes into the second ODI with 3,489 runs in 68 matches and plenty of confidence after his match-winning century in the opener. He hasn't played an international match in Guwahati this year yet, but given his current form, he's definitely one to keep an eye on.

Virat Kohli: Kohli heads into this game with 15,080 runs from 315 matches and 55 centuries. He'll be eager to make another big impact at Barsapara, where he has scored 253 runs in two matches, with a best of 140. Coming off a match-winning 139* in the first ODI, he's a major threat for the West Indies.
