Abhishek Sharma departs!!
And West Indies strike, and they have got the dangerous wicket of Abhishek Sharma. He looked good as she scored 21 runs, but it was off-spin that once again proved to be his undoing. Sharma tried to hit Roston Chase over mid off, but gave it straight into his hands.

Sanju Samson stayed quiet for a long time as Abhishek Sharma was going gung ho at the other end. However, he too joined in the party, and the upward trajectory in his innings started with a no ball bowled by Akeal Hosein, which he hit for a six.

Milestone for Abhishek Sharma!!
It is a milestone for Abhishek Sharma as he gets India off to a flying start. He has now slammed 1,000 T20I runs in India. He now becomes the 7th batter to reach this landmark on Indian soil. Virat Kohli was the first to achieve this back in 2019.

Abhishek Sharma is off to a flyer in the first over, as West Indies brought in the spin of Akeal Hosein to counter him. But he stuck to his favourite shot to get some big runs. He made room and hit a lofted drive over extra cover twice, with the final ball of the over going for a massive six.

Can Sanju Samson break his poor run of form?
Sanju Samson is on a lean patch at the moment at the top of the order. In his last 4 T20I innings, he has scored 2,7,9 and 11. In fact, this list of scores came after Samson hit two consecutive fifties against Afghanistan last month. This is a chance for Samson to score freely on a flattish surface in Ranchi, because if he falters for thr fifth time in a row, we have a young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi waiting in the wings.

India to bat first; No Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
It is West Indies who won the toss and they opted to bowl first. Captain Shai Hope spoke about the dew factor as the reason behind this decision. In fact, Shreyas Iyer, too said that they wanted to bowl first, as he too cited the dew factor coming into the game later. The big news coming in from the toss is the fact that India field the same playing XI from the first T20I, meaning that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi misses out on the second game running.

Can any team breach the 200-run mark in Ranchi?
A total of 4 T20Is have been played in Ranchi so far, and no team interestingly has breached the 200-run mark in the shortest format at this venue. The highest team total at the JSCA International Cricket Ground is 196/6 by India against Sri Lanka in 2016. Can any of these two teams, who possess some serious firepower, finally breach the 200-run mark tonight?
