India still have enough time to turn around as there are still three matches left in this series, if India can do well in the remaining three matches then they can come back in this series. West Indies have a good chance of doing better than India in this series as they have already won the first two matches to lead the series. Nicholas Pooran was the most important contributor to West Indies' victory in the second match, his storming batting led West Indies to victory over India. If India could have done some controlled bowling towards the end then the second match could have been India's. The two batsmen who secured West Indies' victory were two batsmen but not first-order batsmen, meaning that if they could have been yorked or bounced, they would have been defeated.

West Indies have won first two matches and pressure will be relatively low on them for next three matches. While India will have to win all 3 remaining matches. India batting is not as good as it should be both matches and that's the main reason they have lost both games. Talik Varma is a good discovery and with time he can increase his scoring rate also.

A lot of pressure awaits India in the three matches ahead as they have already lost the first two matches. Before taking the field in the next match, India will be under pressure to win match number three at any cost because if they lose match number three then India will lose the series against West Indies with two matches in hand. When a team enters the field with such statistics, their pressure increases a lot, and when they play under pressure, the performance becomes worse. India will field young players against West Indies and it will be very difficult for them to handle the pressure, so they need to be normal and try to perform like normal matches, only then they can do well in the third match.

@Litzki1990 I feel that this pressure is blessing in disguise because the player’s who perform under pressure are the player’s that this team needs. Furthermore if the player’s flop again then it’ll open the door for other player’s who have been patiently been waiting for their opportunity so both ways team India gets the benefit as it’ll make the selectors job easy on whom to pick and whom to drop for future matches.
