Goodbye, take care!

That is all from us for today. India romping home with 8 wickets. Series is in the bank for India, but we have the third ODI on Wednesday. Will be back with the coverage.

Yuzvendra Chahal is the man of the match: "I enjoyed the bowling, the wicket was slow. Today they tried to hit me, hence got the wickets. Wanted to bowl stump to stump."

MS Dhoni: "It was a pretty cold day, the fact that it was cloudy. It is always good to take catches, inside edges are always difficult than the outside edge. Credit to the bowler. I felt it was a slightly better wicket, it was coning on nicely. The bowlers did a very good job to restrict them. They had a good partnership, I felt they would cross 200. Chahal did well to get the wicket in the middle phase. Important to win games, we are doing it professionally, especially in the batting line-up. Will sit and discuss about the changes with Sanjay Bangar."

Graeme Cremer: "Losing the toss may have played the part, our batters did not take the responsibility. It was at a stage when the wicket was doing a bit, we needed to carry to the 40 over. Always disappointing with the injury. Everyone a bit down, we have 4 more matches to go in the series."

The target was never going to be sufficient. KL Rahul, Karun Nair and Ambati Rayudu showed why. The bowling looked out of depth, but the batting was the culprit for the hosts. India wrap up the series without breaking a sweat. A thumping performance if ever there was one. Once again it is back to the drawing board for the hosts.
