Indian captain Virat Kohli won the toss against West Indies and opted to bat first in the 2nd ODI at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on Wednesday.
On what is expected to be a much drier surface than the one at Guwahati in the first ODI where over 600 runs were scored in the match, India have rested pacer Khaleel Ahmed drafting in a third spinner in Kuldeep Yadav.
For West Indies, last match’s debutant Oshane Thomas misses out after conceding 83 runs in his nine over. In place of the 18-year-old comes another debutant in 21-year old Obed McCoy, who has played one first class and 16 List A matches.
