India Predicted Playing XI for 2nd ODI vs West Indies

India will look to extend their dominance in the ODI series when they face West Indies in the second encounter at the Assam Cricket Association Stadium in Guwahati on September 30, 2026. The hosts secured a commanding eight-wicket victory in the opening match at Thiruvananthapuram, with Virat Kohli scoring 139 not out and Shubman Gill making 110 to chase down West Indies' 295 for 7 in just 47 overs.

The series consists of three ODIs and five T20Is, with India holding a 1-0 lead after the first match. Kuldeep Yadav's return to ODI cricket proved successful, taking 4 for 40 as West Indies managed 295 for 7 in their innings. India's batting depth and bowling variety have established early momentum, and the team composition for Guwahati will likely reflect continuity with selective adjustments based on pitch conditions and player workload management.

Top order: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (C), Virat Kohli

India's top order has demonstrated exceptional form, with both Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill converting starts into substantial centuries. Shubman Gill, who captained the side in the first ODI, will retain his position at the top of the order and look to repeat his heroics. Rohit Sharma looked good in the last game but was dismissed for 32, failing to convert his start into a substantial score. He would love to get a big one on Wednesday.
