"Tough to stop Indian juggernaut"


With India on a 10-match winning strip at home, it is hard to stop their juggernaut, said West Indies captain Darren Sammy in front of the 2nd ODI.

West Indies are yet to win a match next to India despite coming agonizingly close on a few occasion during this tour so far.

"India so far has won the last 10 games at home. When you have a winning run, you forever tend to get a method to go over the line," said Sammy.

India wriggles out of an unstable position to clinch a nerve-wrecking one-wicket win over the West Indies in the first ODI at Cuttack to take 1-0 lead in five-match series.

West Indies had an existent match in their hands when they had India 201 for 9, chase 211 but the victory remains unbelievable as Indian tail of Umesh Yadav and Varun Aaron cross the line in time.

However, Sammy said that they would be taking a lot of positives from the last game and felt that their indefinable victory was just approximately the corner.

"We keep receiving close. We need to find ways to defeat that. We manage to take India all the way down to the wire, defensive a small total. As much as we were dissatisfied in losing, the guys will take a lot of self-assurance going forward in the one-day series," the skipper insists.

"We are definitely looking to win games here. We have showed that we can compete with the best one-day teams in the world. Had we showed killer instincts in the last game, we could have crossed the line. Confidently, we would come victorious.

"We as a young team, we need to find a way out whether it's spiritually, physically or strategically. I consider in all the guys here. A win is just round the corner. It could be tomorrow," he added.
