India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd T20I: Shai Hope's fireworks fuel West Indies' dream of a historic chase

IND vs WI Live Score: Sooryavanshi's talent comes with a learning curve Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has shown that he has the shots and confidence to make an impact in T20 cricket, but his early international outings have also offered a reminder that the step up is not easy. He scored 14, 13 and 15 during India's 0-3 defeat in the T20I series against England. At the Asian Games in Japan, he made 18 and 35. Those scores are not poor for a beginner, but they show why India must be careful about rushing the 15-year-old into a bigger role simply because of the attention around him..India vs West Indies Live Score: Shreyas Iyer's century gives India breathing room While Sanju Samson has struggled for runs, India's middle order has made sure his failures have not become a bigger problem. Captain Shreyas Iyer has played a key role in that recovery and has finally found his footing as T20I captain. He also scored his maiden T20I century in his 68th match in the format. That form gives India confidence heading into the second T20I, but it also raises the question of how long the middle order can keep covering for Samson. India will hope their batting line-up continues to fire in Ranchi..IND vs WI Live Score: Could Vaibhav Sooryavanshi open with Abhishek Sharma? India's team management could consider pairing teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with Abhishek Sharma at the top of the order for the second T20I. Sooryavanshi has impressed with his range of shots and ability to produce match-winning knocks in the limited chances he has received. However, India have so far backed the established opening combination of Abhishek and Samson. The decision will not be straightforward, as the team must weigh Sooryavanshi's potential against Samson's experience and the support the Kerala batter has received from the management..India vs West Indies Live Score: Samson's lean run puts his place under scrutiny Sanju Samson's recent scores have become a concern for India ahead of the second T20I against the West Indies in Ranchi. The Kerala batter's last four innings read 9, 7, 2 and 11, while his partnerships in those matches have been limited to 7, 12, 2 and 29. His struggles have not hurt India badly so far because the middle order has stepped up, but the team management will want more from him. The ongoing five-match series could prove important for Samson, who cannot rely on his past World Cup performances indefinitely..IND vs WI Live Score: India look to go 2-0 up against West Indies India will aim to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series when they face the West Indies in the second match in Ranchi on Friday. The hosts will be pleased with their batting form, but Sanju Samson's recent struggles remain a concern. India have enough firepower in the middle order to cover up his failures, with captain Shreyas Iyer leading the way after scoring his maiden T20I century in his 68th match. A win would put India in a strong position in the series, but the team management will also be looking for a better performance from Samson.
