What's the story

Visitors India came up with a fine performance to tame the Windies by 59 runs, in a rain-curtailed second ODI at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad on Sunday. As a result, India now have an unassailable 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Notably, the first match got washed away. Meanwhile, here are the records broken in this tie.

Match report

How did the match pan out?

Winning the toss, Indian skipper Virat Kohli elected to bat first on a track which was expected to get slower. The plan worked as they posted a challenging total of 279/7, courtesy Kohli's splendid knock of 120. Due to rain the total was revised to 270, but Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 4/31 was too much for the hosts to handle and were bundled for 210.

300th ODI

Chris Gayle the first Windies player to play 300 ODIs

Explosive Windies opener, Universe Boss, Chris Gayle, on Sunday, became the first player from the nation to play 300 ODIs. With this record, he went past his fellow countryman Brian Lara, who had played 299 ODIs. However, it is to be noted that Gayle has played 297 ODIs for the Windies, while the remaining three ODIs are for the ICC World XI.
