India lead the series 1-0 after an eight-wicket win in Thiruvananthapuram, powered by centuries from captain Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. Times Now reported that West Indies centurion Justin Greaves, who scored 101 in the opener, had been ruled out of the second ODI with a calf injury. Kuldeep Yadav's four-wicket haul had earlier helped India restrict the visitors to 295-7. The hosts are looking to seal the series, while the West Indies aim to level the contest with an improved performance. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Times Now and News On AIR lead with India's eight-wicket win in the opener and the centuries from Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, while NDTV's piece is built around Rohit Sharma's and Kohli's records in Guwahati. Only Times Now reports that Justin Greaves has been ruled out with a calf injury, so his absence rests on a single outlet.
