Stumped out! Akeal Hosein delivered a short and slightly wider ball, tempting Samson to come down the track too early. The ball spun away from him, leaving him stranded outside his crease. With ample time, Pooran whipped off the bails, as Samson’s ambitious attempt to go big down the ground didn’t match the delivery’s length.
After winning the toss and electing to bat in the second T20I against West Indies at Providence Stadium, Guyana, India suffered early setbacks with the dismissals of Shubman Gill (7 runs off 9 balls) and Suryakumar Yadav (1 run off 3 balls).
Alzarri Joseph provided the first breakthrough by removing Gill, while Yadav fell victim to a run-out in the following over. Despite the early setbacks, Tilak Varma, who had an impressive start to his international career, has partnered with Ishan Kishan in the middle.
In response to Kuldeep Yadav’s absence due to an injury sustained during net practice, Ravi Bishnoi has been included in the playing XI, as confirmed by Pandya. Fortunately, the injury is not considered serious.

In contrast, the West Indies have decided to stick with their winning combination from the previous match. It’s worth noting that India is currently trailing 1-0 in the five-match series.
