IND vs WI Live: Here’s what Hardik Pandya said at the toss

“We would have batted first us as well, I don’t think much will change. I think the boys turned up very well, they were excited and at the same time, they realized that they have to show some more hunger as well. Everyone chipped in, the bowlers did well. Yeah, same team. Our spinners have that kind of wicket-taking knack, they are aggressive with their intent as well, which I like.”

IND vs WI Live: Here’s what Rovman Powell said at the toss

“We are gonna bat first, looks a very good surface, we want to put up some runs on the board and try to defend it. I think it is an opportunity for us to win a series against a big team like India. Jason Holder is in, Shai Hope comes in for Johnson Charles.”

IND vs WI Live: WI win toss, opt to bat

West Indies skipper Rovman Powell won the toss and opted to bat against India in the fourth T20I match on Saturday. 

IND vs WI Live: India’s weak top-order

India had handed T20I debut to Yashasvi Jaiswal, resting Ishan Kishan. But for the third successive match, the pair at the totem pole position failed to impress, making just six runs. Jaiswal got out to pacer Obed McCoy in the first over itself.

IND vs WI Live: Impressive Suryakumar Yadav

It was a comforting sight indeed to see Suryakumar Yadav flicking on his beast mode and Tilak Varma chipping in with crucial runs. But India’s opening combination continued to falter.

IND vs WI Live: India trail 1-2

The Hardik Pandya-led side are currently trailing 1-2 in the five-match series against West Indies. India might have stayed afloat with a win in the third T20I but Windies still lead the series 2-1, a quick reminder to the fact that the visitors still have concerns surrounding the batting unit.
