India call up pace duo Kumar, Bumrah for ODIs

NEW DELHI, Oct 25, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Indian selectors on Thursday picked
pacemen Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the remaining three one-day
internationals against the West Indies.

Fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who was included for the first two matches,
has been left out for the rest of the five-match series which the hosts lead
1-0.

The second game on Wednesday ended in a thrilling tie in Visakhapatnam
after the Indians scored 321-6 off their 50 overs, riding on a record
unbeaten 157 by skipper Virat Kohli.

Kohli, 29, became the quickest batsman ever to reach 10,000 ODI runs on
his way to a second successive century.

The third one-dayer will be played in the western city of Pune on Saturday
followed by games in Mumbai (October 29) and Thiruvananthapuram (November 1).

The West Indies lost the preceding two-Test series with India 2-0.

Virat Kohli (capt), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Ambati Rayudu, Rishabh
Pant, M.S. Dhoni (wicket-keeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra
