India vs West Indies 2nd ODI Highlights: Axar Patel heroics help IND secure thrilling win, seal series against WI

That's all the action we have for you today. Thank you so much for joining us for this edge-of-the-seat thriller! We will be back on Wednesday for the third ODI! Until then, it's goodbye.

Chasing 312, India was off to a solid start. Shubman Gill showed a lot of intent from start, while Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson combined to revive the innings in the middle overs.

In the end, it was Axar Patel who sealed the match for India with a massive six on the fourth ball of the over, finishing on unbeaten 64 off 35 balls with three fours and five sixes. A THRILLING GAME OF CRICKET!

"It was a great team performance. Boys didn't lose the self belief, that is amazing. Iyer, Sanju, Axar everyone was amazing, Even Avesh came out in his debut game and scored those 11 important runs. Thanks to IPL, they perform on a huge stage," says Shikhar Dhawan.

"I felt that we bowled nicely. They got off to a good start. Hope and Pooran batted well. We knew that we could do it. We started a little slow. Shubman batted well. The Iyer-Samson partnership made a huge difference."

"Definitely, last couple of overs we didn't hold our nerves. Last 6 overs, we lost the game. We felt a spinner was easier to hit. We just needed one wicket to seal the game but Axar played really well," says Nicholas Pooran.

"I think this is a special one. It came at a crucial time and also helped the team to win the series. We have done the same in the IPL," says Axar on his match-winning knock.

"We just needed to remain calm and keep the intensity up. I was playing an ODI after close to 5 years. I would want to continue performing like this for my team."

India 275-6

Gone! Hooda falls for 33! What a comeback from Akeal Hosein after conceding 11 runs in his last over.

11 runs off Akeal Hosein's over. The required rate is just a touch under 10.

India 223-5

He may have squandered a fine chance in the previous ODI, but Samson proved his worth with an excellent fifty under pressure. He got support from Shreyas as the pair put on 99 runs after India stuttered in the run-chase. All eyes on Hooda-Axar now!

Five singles off the 40th over. India need 100 runs in the remaining 10 overs.

India 212-5

Gone!!! Samson is unlucky to get out in that fashion but he has no option but to walk back on 54. India lose their fifth wicket.

Samson was running towards the non-striker's end when the throw hit the bowler's knees, and eventually crashed onto the stumps. Unfortunate dismissal for the Indian!

India 207-5

Maiden ODI fifty for Sanju Samson! Seales bowls a high full toss and Samson nudges it fine for a boundary. At this point, India will hope that Samson takes the game deep.

India 202-4

Tidy from Jayden Seales as he concedes just three singles in the over. On the last ball, Hooda works it off his pads and gets a single. India need 122 runs off the last 14 overs... and it's time for DRINKS!

Properly executed and Hooda straightaway gets into scoring. A looped-up delivery from Akeal Hosein and Hooda lofts it over cover, gets off the mark with a splendid four.

India 184-4

Great over from Jayden Seales, who concedes just one from the over. Gill and Iyer looked comfortable during their stay but the onus is on Samson to steer India past the finish line. Shardul and lower order are still to come.

Full and straight and Alzarri Joseph traps Shreyas Iyer. The review is taken after the finger goes up! It's 'Umpire's Call' and Shreyas is disappointed! He walks back after scoring 63. Deepak Hooda joins Samson in the middle.
