# Greaves out of second ODI vs India with calf injury 2026-09-29T17:37:55+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets West Indies opener Justin Greaves has been ruled out of the second ODI against India after injuring his calf during his maiden ODI century. Greaves scored 101 off 108 balls in the series opener in Thiruvananthapuram, where India chased down 295 to take a 1-0 lead. Cricket West Indies confirmed the injury, saying Greaves picked it up during his innings. The 32-year-old had put on a 135-run opening stand with Brandon King. Teenage wicketkeeper-batter Jewel Andrew could be promoted up the order as the visitors look to level the three-match series. The second ODI will be played in Guwahati on September 30, followed by the third in Chandigarh on October 3. A five-match T20I series follows from October 6 to 17. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both outlets frame the story around West Indies' setback, but the neutral wire copy in Cricbuzz leads with Greaves' absence as a straight factual update, while NDTV's syndicated version emphasises the team's "major blow" and "must-win" stakes. NDTV also highlights the potential batting promotion of teenager Jewel Andrew, a detail Cricbuzz omits entirely. Neither source questions the official CWI statement or offers alternative injury details. The balanced reading is that Greaves' absence is significant for West Indies' chase in a series they trail, but the coverage is purely descriptive of the squad news. The team management's selection call for the Guwahati match, due September 30, will show how seriously they rate the injury risk. ## Coverage - cricbuzz.com (neutral report) Led with the injury as a straightforward squad fact with no added framing - sports.ndtv.com (neutral report) Repeated the same 'major blow' headline with no extra reporting - sports.ndtv.com (neutral report) Repeated the same 'major blow' headline with no extra reporting Tags: Cricket West Indies, India, Justin Greaves, Virat Kohli, West Indies Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/greaves-out-of-second-odi-with-calf-injury/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
