India 100/1 in 8.1 Overs | India vs West Indies Live Score, 2nd T20I: Sanju Samson refuses to slow down, completes 21-ball fifty

India Vs Live Score West Indies, 2nd T20I: Sanju Samson’s lean drive is the only sore spot in an otherwise fiery batting line-up and will prompt the team management to consider pairing teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with opener Abhishek Sharma in the second T20I against the West Indies in Ranchi on Friday.

A win in Racnhi will take India 2-0 up in the five-match series, but the hosts will surely want a more productive output from Samson.

Kerala’s last four innings were: 9, 7, 2, 11. Consequently, the partnerships involving Samson in the previous four matches are: 7, 12, 2 (both for the 2nd wicket, Sooryavanshi coming in as opener) and 29.

But the middle order led by skipper Shreyas Iyer, who finally found his footing as T20I captain, covered up these setbacks in spectacular fashion. Iyer also smashed his maiden T20I century in the 68th match of his career.

So will be tempted to give Sooryavanshi another run. The left-hander has shown that T20 cricket comes naturally to him in the limited opportunities he has been given so far.

His wide and unique range of shots, along with his ability to produce game-winning shots, made him a compelling package.

But India have so far supported the established opening combination of Abhishek and Samson.
