The ODIs Begin!

India Vs West Indies
1st ODI – 21 November, 2013 - Kochi

India
Being unrealistic will lead to unnecessary pressures for Team India. It will be their aggressive intent and quick thinking that will help them maintain a healthy hold on the game. Unfortunately, bowling will not be in-sync, but it will be steadier during the middle overs. Batting will be a positive battle, in fact, it will have to be as a lot will depend on this area. Fielding will be well balanced.

The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Dhoni will lead with focus and flexibility. His pro-active decision making will prove to be crucial.

West Indies
At one point West Indies will seem balanced and collected, but then they'll look nervous and edgy. One player will shine through so well, yet another will be drastically opposite. This team does show potential to surprise the opposition as their bowling will display tremendous effort. Whereas despite India's bowling not being too sharp, it will be the West Indian batting that will create self-inflicted issues. Fielding will be smart, aggressive and confident.

The Captain – Dwayne Bravo
Bravo has to put in more thought. Captaincy is just too temperamental – overly aggressive and then overly soft. Consistency in action has to be maintained.
