India pacer Arshdeep Singh was the finest performer with the ball in the series decider on Thursday, claiming 4 wickets to conclude an excellent series in the Rainbow Nation. However, Arshdeep wasn't the happiest man when it comes to umpires' support and the seamer even pointed out the same after the match. The left-arm pacer was asked about the reason behind his loud and excessive appeals in the match, and he had no qualms in highlighting how little support he got from the umpires on a pitch that wasn't much helpful either.

Shai Hope's unbeaten 43 led West Indies to a four wicket victory over England and secured a 3-2 T20I series win in a tense encounter. England were bowled out for 132 in the decider and while West Indies never got into their rhythm, Hope held their reply together and then won the game with a powerful six over extra-cover off the second ball of the final over. The win is the third straight T20 international series win for West Indies in 2023 as they prepare to co-host the World Cup for the shortest format in June.

Samson, a player who remains quite popular across India despite his struggles to cement a spot in the Indian team in any of the three formats, truly sent a wave of jubilation across the country. For fans, Samson's heroics laid the foundation of a weekend full of entertainment, with many awaiting the release of Salaar movie.
