India vs West Indies, 2nd T20I: List of Award Winners, Man Of The Match, Scorecard, Post-Match Highlights

India
could
not
get
going
and
were
restricted
to
138
all
out
with
left-arm
pacer
Obed
McCoy
taking
6
for
17
in
fours
overs,
the
best
figures
for
WI
in
T20I
cricket,
and
also
the
best
figures
against
India
in
T20Is.

The
Indian
bowlers
did
their
best
to
keep
their
team
in
the
hunt
but
a
target
of
139
was
always
going
to
be
tough
to
defend.

Opener
Brandon
King
made
a
fine
fifty
and
Devon
Thomas
provided
the
final
flourish
as
the
Windies
went
past
the
target
in
the
last
over
bowled
by
Avesh
Khan.

Earlier,
Hardik
Pandya
and
Ravidndra
came
up
with
useful
knocks
but
regular
fall
of
wickets
impeded
their
progress,
and
limited
themt
to
a
sub-par
score.

The
3rd
T20I
will
be
played
at
the
same
venue
on
Tuesday
(August
2).
So,
here
are
the
details
such
as
man
of
the
match,
captain’s
comments
and
all
extras
from
the
post-match
presenation.

Man
of
the
Match:
Obed
McCoy
(6/17)

Obed
McCoy:
“I
want
to
thank
God.
I’m
doing
this
for
my
mom,
she
is
at
home
and
sick.
This
is
motivating
me
to
be
a
better
player.
Thankful
for
it.
It
(Rohit
Sharma
wicket)
put
a
lot
of
pressure
on
their
batters.
I
always
look
for
wickets
in
the
power
play
because
that
stops
batsmen
from
scoring
runs
in
the
power
play.

“I
Went
in
with
a
clear
mind
and
was
overthinking
in
the
previous
game.
It
gives
me
a
lot
of
challenge
and
experience.
Helps
groom
me
as
a
player.”

Rohit
Sharma,
India
Captain:
“It
was
not
enough
runs
on
the
board
for
us.
We
didn’t
bat
well.
Pitch
was
playing
quite
nicely
but
we
didn’t
apply
ourselves.
But
that
can
happen.
I
have
said
again
and
again
that
when
you
are
trying
something
as
a
batting
group,
it
won’t
work
out
always.
We
will
try
to
see
our
mistakes
and
look
to
correct
them.

“It’s
all
about
giving
opportunity
(to
Avesh
Khan).
We
know
Bhuvneshwar,
what
he
brings
to
the
table,
but
if
you
don’t
give
opportunity
to
Avesh
or
Arshdeep
you
will
never
find
out
what
it
means
to
bowl
at
the
death
for
India.
They
have
done
it
in
the
IPL.

“It
is
just
one
game,
those
guys
don’t
need
to
panic.
They
need
backing
and
opportunity.
Proud
of
the
team.
When
you
are
defending
a
target
like
that,
it
can
end
in
13-14
overs
or
you
try
to
drag
it
to
the
last
over.
Guys
kept
fighting,
it
was
important
to
take
wickets.
The
planning
we
did,
the
guys
came
and
executed.

“Happy
with
bowlers,
but
there
are
certain
things
in
the
batting
we
need
to
look
at.
I
will
again
and
again
say
that
we
will
continue
to
bat
in
this
fashion
because
we
want
to
achieve
something.
One-off
result,
shouldn’t
panic.
After
one
loss
we
won’t
change
things
around.”

Nicholas
Pooran,
West
Indies
captain:
“I
can
finally
breathe
now.
It
has
been
a
tough
summer,
we
have
lost
a
couple
of
close
games.
Happy
to
cross
the
line.
Bowlers
were
fantastic,
especially
Obed
McCoy.
They
used
the
pitch,
the
conditions,
the
wind
well.

“The
batters
got
us
off
to
a
good
start,
and
even
though
we
stumbled,
a
win
is
a
win
in
the
end.
I
believe
that
in
T20
cricket
our
better
batters
have
to
bat
more.
It
didn’t
work
out
for
myself
and
Hetmyer
today,
but
we
want
to
continue
taking
responsibility.

“King
batted
really
well,
thought
he
should
win
the
game
for
us,
but
he
will
learn
from
this.
Thomas
returned
from
an
injury
and
came
trumps
in
his
home
ground.

“McCoy
is
a
bit
of
a
freak,
and
we
need
to
deal
with
him,
but
today
he
was
excellent.
He
was
smart
bowling
to
Dinesh
Karthik,
lovely
to
have
him
in
the
team.
Good
to
have
the
left-arm
option
as
well.”
