LIVE SCORE – IND vs WI 2ND T20I Thiruvananthapuram IND vs WI 2nd T20I Live Updates from Greenfield International Stadium: Virat Kohli produced another batting masterclass after KL Rahul’s stroke-filled 62 to help India gun down their highest-ever T20I chase and taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Previously India’s chase of 207 vs Sri Lanka in Mohali, 2009, was their highest in the format. In the process, Kohli also became the sole owner of the record of most fifties in T20Is, going past Rohit Sharma’s 22 T20I half-centuries. The Indian skipper would be impressed with the team batting.

The BCCI and its state associations will need to grapple with the massive volume of cricket given 38 teams.
