The ODI series between India and West Indies has once again become extremely interesting as the former made an impressive comeback in the second match, scored 387 runs while batting first and wrapped up their opposition for 280.

While the performance was exceptional on its own, it, more importantly, has brought the series to a tie with the decider scheduled to take place at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, Odisha on Sunday, December 22.

And even though the winning-momentum during the past two matches has been swinging like a pendulum, what makes the contest between the two sides so exciting is the brewing rivalry between the players from each team. 

Be it Mohammed Shami staring Shai Hope right in the eyes after surprising him with a sudden bouncer or Kesrick Williams' 'Finger on your lips' celebration during the T20I series, the two teams surely know the right buttons to push to get a reaction out of their rivals. 

height of trolling..

However, there is yet another feud that is budding amidst the two squads which might turn out to the best biggest of them all, the rivalry between the two captains, Virat Kohli and Kieron Pollard

To be frank, the rivalry is more of Kohli celebrating the achievements of his teammates and Pollard getting annoyed by it but because we are nice to our guests, we shall call it a dead-even strife. 

”You have to ask him why he is so animated. I can't answer that for you. It is what it is. You ask him that question and let him answer that. I don't know. I have no clue,” said @KieronPollard55 on @imVkohli's animated celebrations. #INDvWI https://t.co/bF69HN5EcS

During the second match that took place in Visakhapatnam, Kohli was dismissed on the first ball that he faced. However, he seemed to be overjoyed when Kieron Pollard faced the same fate later in the day. 

Virat Kohli 0 (1)
Kieron Pollard 0 (1)

For the first time in ODI History, both Captains have been OUT for a GOLDEN DUCK ð¦. #IndvWI

After the loss, Pollard said: "You have to ask him why he is so animated. I can't answer that for you. It is what it is. You ask him that question and let him answer that. I don't know. I have no clue."

Both Kohli and Pollard are masters of their work, albeit in different ways. One depends on his strength, and the other depends on his timing and technique. With three days to go for the final match of the series, it will be interesting to see how this particular rivalry unfolds.
