Series mein pehle se hi 1-0 se peeche chal rahi West Indies ke liye ek aur buri khabar samne aayi hai. Pehle ODI mein shandaar century jadne waale opener Justin Greaves calf injury ki wajah se Guwahati mein hone waale dusre match se bahar ho gaye hain. India ki dominance ke saamne pehle hi bebas dikh rahi Caribbean team ke liye ye ek bohot bada jhatka hai.
The Guru Story: Chotil Warrior ki bidaayi
Thiruvananthapuram mein khele gaye pehle match mein Justin Greaves ne ek fighting innings kheli thi. Match ke dauran hi unhe calf injury hui thi aur wo kayi baar maidan par ladkhadaate huye dikhe. Physio ne baar-baar unhe check kiya lekin unhone haar nahi maani aur 108 balls par 101 runs ki behtareen innings kheli. Unhe aakhirkar Kuldeep Yadav ne LBW out kiya. Injury itni gambhir thi ki wo second innings mein fielding ke liye bhi nahi utre. Ab reports ke mutabiq wo Guwahati ODI se poori tarah bahar hain aur New Chandigarh mein hone waale teesre match mein unka khelna mushkil lag raha hai.
West Indies ke liye ye loss isliye bada hai kyunki Justin Greaves saal 2025 se unke liye leading run-scorers mein se ek rahe hain. Unki gair-maujoodgi mein ab Jewel Andrew ko John Campbell ke saath open karne ke liye bheja ja sakta hai. Wahin middle order mein Sherfane Rutherford ki wapasi tay maani ja rahi hai jo personal reasons ki wajah se pehla match nahi khel paaye the.
Analysis and Numbers
- Justin Greaves ne 2025 ki shuruat se 19 innings mein 528 runs banaye hain aur 7 wickets bhi liye hain.
- India ne pehla match badi hi aasaani se 8 wickets se jeeta tha aur 296 ka target sirf 41.4 overs mein chase kar liya tha.
- West Indies filhaal 3 matches ki series mein 1-0 se peeche hai aur agar wo Guwahati mein haarti hai to series unke hath se nikal jayegi.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Seedhi baat ye hai ki West Indies ki batting ab taash ke patton ki tarah bikhrege. Greaves unke akele aise player the jo thoda confidence dikha rahe the. Unke bina Indian bowling attack inka kya haal karega iska andaza aap laga sakte hain. Guwahati ki pitch par hamare spinners inko dance karwayenge. Hum toh 3-0 sweep saaf dekh rahe hain.
