With India facing West Indies in the second match of the tri-series at Kingston, here's a look at some of the interesting contests between players of both teams that can liven up the game.Dhawan Vs Rampaul: The new blue-eyed boy of Indian cricket, Shikhar Dhawan, has decimated all attack that has come his way in his brief international career. On the other hand, West Indian Rampaul has brought to dust reputation of some veteran cricketers with his lively pace and swing. How Dhawan plays Rampaul will be keenly watched by fans from both sides.Kohli vs Narine: Kohli has been the best batsman for India in recent times in all formats and it will make an absorbing contest to see how he fares up against Sunil Narine, one of the best off-spinners in the world at the moment. Though Kohli has played Narine in IPL, he hasn't dominated the West Indian he would have liked to. It's up to Kohli to set the records straight this time.
Dhoni Vs Bravo: The two captains, who are also Chennai Super Kings mates, will be locked in a fearsome battle between bat and ball. They two know each-others’ game well as they have played extensively together in the IPL. It will be interesting to see who wins this contest.Gayle Vs Bhuneshwar Kumar: Bhuvi has been opening the bowling for India regularly nowadays and has been consistent in getting the top-order wickets. But he will be up against the most destructive batsman in today's cricket - Chris Gayle. Will it be Gayle all the way or Bhuvi scalping the West Indian? Wait and watch.Samuels Vs Jadeja: Samuels, one of the most experienced batsmen in the West Indian team, will be relishing the challenge to play India's new found spinning star Ravindra Jadeja, who has dumb-founded most veterans with his guile and variations. Will Jadeja live up to his tag again?Pollard vs Ashwin: The two had a fair bit of rivalry playing for their respective franchise in IPL. Dhoni will like to use Ashwin against Pollard to stem the flow of runs and entice the batsman into committing mistakes. But will Pollard bite the bait? Ashwin will perhaps have to come up with a different strategy altogether.
