India could make a change in their bowling line-up following the loss in the opening game of this three-match series. Shivam Dube leaked plenty of runs last time and he is expected to make room for the experienced Yuzvendra Chahal in the playing eleven. Expect the rest of the team to remain unchanged.
Virat Kohli: The captain is the best batsman in the world when it comes to ODI cricket. He is the leading run-getter at this ground in this format and has three centuries and two fifties in the five matches he has played here.
Rohit Sharma: The 'hitman' has an ODI average of 45.75 at this ground and has scored 183 runs in his five innings here which includes a couple of half-centuries. Expect Rohit to fire on this good batting track.
Yuzvendra Chahal: The leg-spinner is likely to be brought back into the mix after being ignored in the first ODI. Chahal is a street-smart bowler and can change the course of the game by picking wickets in the middle overs.
India's eight-wicket loss at Chennai last Sunday was their third defeat in their last twelve completed matches in the game's 50-over format. The hosts did a pretty good job with the bat in the series opener, posting a very competitive 287 on a slowish Chepauk surface. Their bowlers, however, were not up to the mark and failed to penetrate the West Indian batting line-up.

After their emphatic victory in the first ODI, West Indies don't have a reason to make changes to their current line-up, unless Evin Lewis is declared fit for this game. If the left-handed batsman fully recovers from his injury in time, he will replace Sunil Ambris to partner Shai Hope at the top of the order.
Shimron Hetmyer: He has been the best batsman for the Windies on this tour. He scored the most runs for the team in the T20I series and earned the man of the match award for his superb knock of 139 in the last match.
Kieron Pollard: The West Indian skipper could prove to be a big headache for the Indian bowlers if not dismissed early on. Pollard has the ability to single-handedly win games with his explosive batting and he can be pretty handy with the ball as well.
Sheldon Cottrell: The left-arm fast bowler is having a good tour of India. He was impressive in the T20Is and took the key scalps of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul in the first ODI.
West Indies have now won five of their last seven one-day internationals including the most recently played four in a row. Their batting was the highlight in the first match of the ongoing series; Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer both cracked impressive tons to guide their team to a very comfortable win in the end. The only concern for the WIndies going into the second ODI would be their inability to pick wickets in the middle period of the innings.

With a win in the last game, West Indies have acquired a 63-62 lead over India in the fifty-over format of the game. The two countries have faced each other three times at this ground in ODIs with both winning once each. One of those encounters, played in October last year, ended in a tie.
| Matches Played | IND Won | WI Won | Tie | No Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|

India, despite suffering a big defeat in the opening match, start off as favorites to level the series at 1.28 with 10CRIC and 1.30 with Betway and Bet365. West Indies continue to find themselves as huge underdogs at odds of 3.40 with Betway and 3.50 with Bet365 and 10CRIC.
West Indies defied the odds and stunned India in the first game of the series to go 1-0 up. Now the hosts are under pressure as they will have to win both the remaining fixtures in order to take the trophy. However, they do boast an impressive ODI record at this venue - they have six wins and a tie from their eight matches here. The Windies left India high and dry at Chennai, but we expect the home team to bounce back at Vizag and keep the series alive.
India to beat West Indies at 1.28 with 10CRIC and 1.30 with Betway and Bet365.
