Welcome to the coverage of the second T20 International between India and West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram, on Sunday.

A confident India will look for an improved show in the bowling and fielding departments to match their stupendous batting performance and aim to wrap up the three-match T20 International series.

In the last 13 months, India have played the West Indies in six T20 Internationals with the hosts coming up trumps every single time.

India claimed their seventh straight T20I win over the visitors, beating them comfortably by six wickets in the first game to take a 1-0 lead in Hyderabad on Friday.

A win on Sunday will not only help India seal their second series in the shortest format but also give them a chance to test the fringe players as they continue their preparation for next year's T20 World Cup.

India pulled off their highest successful run chase in a T20 International as they chased down a challenging 207 for 5, posted by the Windies, in 18.4 overs, in the series opener.

If KL Rahul set the platform with a 40-ball 62, skipper Virat Kohli finished the job with a career-best 94 not out.

While the batting led by Kohli put up a good show, the bowlers found themselves at the receiving end of some power-hitting by the Windies batsmen.

In the fielding department too, India were far from impressive with a few catches going down apart from numerous misfields and the hosts will look to quickly pull up their socks.

The Windies, on the other hand, will be desperate to bounce back and keep the series alive but for that they will have to find a way to stop the Indian batsmen, led by Kohli.

The visiting team's bowlers appeared clueless as Kohli went on the overdrive.
