Scoreline: West Indies 129 all out | Praveen Kumar, Nehra 3 each
India get there in the 33rd over – Virat Kohli 79, Karthik 34
With the Aus-Pak game going the way India didn’t want, the chase fizzled out a bit – Kohli showing glimpses of why the hype (without results) that has been following him for a while now is probably justified. When Dravid was brought back into the ODI squad, my first thought was that it was a good time for him to announce his retirement from ODI cricket. It was so obvious he was living on borrowed time and he might as well have said f**k you to those who like to use and throw. If what was being said on air yesterday is to be believed, he might well never play ODI cricket for India again. Also disturbing was the axing of Yusuf for what appears to be a long period.
Preplay: If Pakistan don’t beat Australia today, this game has no relevance for the Indian team in the context of the tournament.
