India suffered a disappointing defeat in the second ODI against West Indies on Saturday, leaving fans disheartened. However, skipper Virat Kohli once again won their hearts with his selfless gesture on the field. Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma were rested for the game as India continues to test young players ahead of the ODI World Cup. While India’s batting performance was uninspiring, Kohli’s appearance on the field carrying drinks warmed the hearts of fans.

Kohli’s Previous Stint as a Drinks Carrier

This is not the first time Kohli has taken on the role of drinks carrier. During the Dharamsala Test against Australia in 2017, Kohli had to sit out due to injury and Ajinkya Rahane captained the team. Kohli came out during one of the breaks with drinks, and the visuals of his humble gesture went viral.

India’s Batting Woes Continue

In the ongoing ODI series, Kohli is yet to showcase his batting skills as he pushed himself down the order in the first ODI to allow young players to prove themselves. However, like in the first match, only Ishan Kishan managed to shine with a run-a-ball 55 as an opener. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav once again failed to convert their starts. Sanju Samson, Axar Patel, and stand-in captain Hardik Pandya also struggled with the bat. India was eventually bowled out for 181 in 40.5 overs.

West Indies Chase Down the Target

West Indies successfully chased down the target of 181 in 36.4 overs, thanks to unbeaten knocks by skipper Shai Hope (64*) and Keacy Carty (48*). Shardul Thakur was the standout bowler for India with figures of 3/42, but it wasn’t enough to prevent West Indies from securing victory.

Overall, India’s defeat in the second ODI was a setback for the team, but Kohli’s gesture on the field once again showed his commitment to the sport and won the admiration of fans.
