India vs West Indies, 2nd T20I at Lucknow, WI in India, Nov 06 2018 - Ball by Ball Commentary

10.50pm Hope y'all enjoyed this game as much as we did bringing it to you. I'll leave you with Sid Monga's report. Goodbye and cheers

10.30pm That is that. India wrap up the T20I series 2-0, with one game to go in Chennai. West Indies will return home empty-handed. Rohit Sharma let the way for India with a dazzling century - his fourth in T20Is - in front of a sell-out crowd. No batsman has hit more T20I hundreds than him. Useful contributions from Dhawan and Rahul propelled India's total to 195 for 2. West Indies' batting line-up unravelled again, this time under scoreboard pressure. They barely managed to bat out 20 overs. No specialist openers in their T20I roster. No clarity from their batsmen in what is perhaps their most preferred format. Stick around for the presentations.

Angelo: "Windies have scored 13 Runs more that Rohit - Hit Man, Rohit's Diwali gift to INDIA "

Brathwaite: Chasing 195 was always an uphill task but a few positives, with Allen bowling well. Not to look at too many negatives and get away from this game. India batted well, even at the first stage we thought we were one or two wickets away from restricting them to 160-170. We've got a young group of guys and we want to appreciate the small good things they did. We did not come with an out-and-out opener and we are still looking for the opener. We have to work with the players on tour and we are trying until the theory works out.

Rohit, also Man of the Match: It was a new pitch, so we wanted to understand how the wicket is behaving. Hence, we took so much time to understand what the pitch is doing. And we carried on from there. Whenever you get opportunity, you try and do well. Everyone will go home smiling. That's what we play for. Glad we could win the game and win the series. You know Dhawan's natural instinct is to put pressure on the bowlers, but we decided to take our time. The partnership at the top was very important.120-plus stand was crucial and KL finished off well. Bumrah has been our premier bowler for us and the way we use him in T20s is different to ODIs. Khaleel wanted the new ball and he initially looks to swing it and he has taken up the challenge well. And when he bowls that kind of a spell upfront that helps us. This is a wonderful stadium - one of the best we've played in. Just want to thank the crowd for coming out and supporting us in huge numbers.

karthik: "So Bhuvi ends up with much better figures than Kuldeep although it is Kuldeep who derailed the chase with important strikes and 3 misery overs. There should be a way for ppl to recognize if top order wickets were taken. May be add an asterisk next to wickets to differentiate top/middle order wickets vs tailenders" ---- Eh, why are you complicating an already over-complicated game...

Ananya: "Rohit should try bowling now....." Dude has an IPL hat-trick! But it will be Bumrah. The equation by the way is 81 off 6 balls

PS - West Indies have gone past Rohit's score now.

Davis: "A full strength WI team is a dream team. Too bad, it will never happen, due to some issue. Think of this as a squad: Gayle, Shai Hope (wk), Heymeter, Dwayne bravo, Pollard, Russel, brathwaite, holder,narine, Thomas, badree."
