Former West Indies captain Brian Lara visited Team India’s dressing room after their win in a nail-biting encounter. India defeated West Indies by three runs in the first ODI to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

In a video posted by the BCCI, Lara can be seen in a conversation with the stand-in captain Shikhar Dhawan, vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, and leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also joined the trio.

Stand-in skipper Shikhar Dhawan will again look to make a statement as the Indian team, made up of fringe players, take on the West Indies in the second ODI on Sunday.

With the series on the line, the West Indies would look to put an end to their losing streak in ODIs which has now stretched to seven matches, including a 0-3 loss to Bangladesh in the preceding rubber.

The series is not part of the ICC World Cup Super League, and the West Indies have an opportunity to play without the pressure of the standings.
