Where to watch the IND vs WI live stream
In India, Star Sports will carry the television broadcast, while JioHotstar is the official online streaming service for the home series. Viewers should check their TV package or streaming access before the match rather than assume the live feed is free.
For viewers in the United States and Canada, TrillerTV lists the second T20I on its Willow by Cricbuzz channel. The match is also listed through the Willow TV subscription on Prime Video. Availability and subscription requirements depend on the service and viewing location; JioHotstar’s India listing should not be treated as a worldwide streaming option.
Has the India vs West Indies playing XI been announced?
Neither team’s playing XI should be treated as confirmed before the toss. The selected elevens are expected to become clear when captains Shreyas Iyer and Shai Hope complete the toss ahead of the 7:00 p.m. IST start. Predicted lineups published earlier are not official team selections.
India enter the Ranchi match 1–0 up after an eight-wicket win in Lucknow on October 6. West Indies made 171, and India reached 172/2 in 14.4 overs. Iyer struck an unbeaten 102, while Naman Dhir took three wickets on his T20I debut. A win in Ranchi would give India a 2–0 series lead; a West Indies victory would level it at 1–1.
Three T20Is remain after Ranchi, scheduled for Indore on October 11, Hyderabad on October 14 and Bengaluru on October 17.
