In Cricket, India will take on West Indies in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Queen’s Park Oval Stadium in Port of Spain today. 

All India Radio will broadcast ball by ball bilingual commentary alternately in Hindi and English from 7 PM. It can be heard on Rajdhani, FM Rainbow and additional frequencies and Prasar Bharati You Tube channel.  

Indian skipper Virat Kohli is 19 runs away from breaking Javed Miandad’s 26-year-old record of highest run scorer in ODIs against West Indies. However, Miandad took 64 innings to score 1930 runs against Windies and if Kohli manages to score at least 19 runs, he will go past the former Pakistan cricketer’s record in just 34 innings. This milestone has stood for almost 26 years as Miandad played his last ODI against West Indies in 1993.

On the other hand, today’s match will be Chris Gayle’s 300th ODI. He will overtake Brian Lara as the most-capped West Indies player in the format. Gayle is also nine runs away from overtaking Lara’s tally of 10,405 ODI runs, the most by a West Indies batsman.

Indian pacer Kuldeep Yadav has taken 94 wickets in 52 ODIs. He has three more games to break Mohammed Shami’s record of being the fastest Indian to reach the 100-wicket mark.

The first match of the series was washed out due to rain in Guyana and both teams will be looking to draw the first blood in this clash in Trinidad. The last match of the three-match series will also be played at this series. Following the conclusion of the ODI series, the two teams will feature in two Tests in Antigua and Jamaica.
