India made some interesting changes going into the must-win match against West Indies in the third T20I of the five-match series. The hosts are leading the series 2-0 in the series and one more win will see them pocket the series. Going into the must-win encounter, India made two changes - Yashasvi Jaiswal replaced Ishan Kishan while Kuldeep Yadav came in for Ravi Bishnoi.
Tilak Varma was one of the few bright spots for India in the second T20I against West Indies on Sunday. He scored his maiden international half-century during the second T20I match between India and West Indies, where the visitors faced a defeat by two wickets. Opting to bat first, Team India could only post a total of 152/7 in 20 overs and West Indies bowlers brilliantly dominated them. Later, the hosts chased down the target in just 18.5 overs with Nicholas Pooran scoring 67 runs.
India's captain for the T20I series against West Indies, Hardik Pandya, has been at the center of criticism after the team lost the first two T20Is. The Indian batting unit has punched quite below its weight, inviting a plethora of reactions from the cricketing spectrum over the nature of 'experiments' that are being done. Skipper Hardik's captaincy decisions and selection of players haven't been immune to criticism either. For former India cricketer Parthiv Patel, Hardik needs a 'supportive' captain like Ashish Nehra (at Gujarat Titans) to deliver, and not Rahul Dravid.
Indian cricket team all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was a top performer in the Test series against West Indies but the veteran star was rested for the white-ball series. It was the perfect chance for him to take a vacation and it looks like he is having a good time in United States. In a video posted by Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings, Jadeja can be seen hitting the dance floor and grooving to local music. He is currently on vacation with his family and the caption accompanying the video read - “When life gives you Mondays, vibe like JADDU! #WhistlePodu #Yellove”.
West Indies' wicketkeeper batsman Nicholas Pooran, the hero of their two-wicket victory over India in the second T20 International, on Monday has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for publicly criticising the umpires during the match in Guyana. Pooran's was a Level 1 offence and he was found to have breached Article 2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for players and player support personnel, which relates to "public criticism in relation to an incident occurring in an international match".
It was yet another disappointing day for Team India as they lost the second T20I against West Indies by two wickets on Sunday. With this loss, the Hardik Pandya-led side has gone down 0-2 in the five-match series. Opting to bat first, Team India posted a total of 152/7 with Tilak Varma scoring a half-century. Later, West Indies comfortably chased down the target in 18.5 overs as Nicholas Pooran scored 67 off 40 balls. After the match ended, several former cricketers and fans slammed skipper Hardik for his poor decision-making.
Team India has been facing severe criticism after the two-wicket defeat against West Indies in the second T20I on Sunday. The most amount of backlash was directed towards skipper Hardik Pandya, who was severely criticised for his poor decision-making. After being restricted to 152/7, the visitors bounced back with the ball as Hardik and spinner Yuzvendra Chahal took three and two wickets respectively. However, it was Nicholas Pooran's 67-run knock that guided West Indies to victory in just 18.5 overs.
Mumbai Indians star batter Tilak Varma left everyone utterly impressed with his maiden international half-century on Sunday. Varma achieved the milestone during the second T20I match between India and West Indies, where the visitors faced a defeat by two wickets. Opting to bat first, Team India could only post a total of 152/7 in 20 overs and West Indies bowlers brilliantly dominated them. Later, the hosts chased down the target in just 18.5 overs with Nicholas Pooran scoring 67 runs.
