Kohli's form carries India past their own wobbles
India have lost series to New Zealand in January and England in July, five defeats in their last ten ODIs. West Indies have won two of their last ten, and lost 3–2 in New Zealand in July. We still make India 86% to win the opener, because the gap between the sides at home is wide: India have won 18 of the 26 ODIs against West Indies in India since 2005, and both ODIs at Greenfield. The first, in 2018, was against West Indies, bowled out for 104 and beaten by nine wickets.
The man keeping India clear is Virat Kohli. He has 760 runs in his last ten ODIs at an average of 95, against his career 58.3, at a strike rate of 108.7, and 2,261 runs against West Indies. Kuldeep Yadav has 33 wickets against them at 21.5, against his career 26.6. Par here is 290; the only other first innings was India's 390 for 5 against Sri Lanka in 2023.
