"He Can Hit Me. I Know He's Going To Hear This": Hardik Pandya Dares West Indies Star

Having seen his captaincy come in the line of fire, Hardik Pandya got the team to click in the third T20I against West Indies, helping the tourists pull one back after losing the first two matches to the hosts. India's batting unit has courted the most criticism, especially for its long tail. But, Hardik, on Tuesday, made it clear that his team will continue to play with seven batters as he doesn't want to compromise on the bowling front. As far as Team India's strategy for the 3rd T20I is concerned, Hardik was spot on, especially with regards to the handling of an in-form Nicholas Pooran.

"To Be Honest, My ODI Numbers Are...": Suryakumar Yadav's Blunt Confession

Suryakumar Yadav emerged as the hero for Indian team as Hardik Pandya's men bounced back to beat West Indies in the third T20I, after losing the first two. Surya, who scored a 44-ball 83 in the match on Tuesday, spoke to the media in the post-match press conference where questions about his ODI form also emerged. The explosive batter that his numbers in the 50-over format have been far from impressive and he finds no shame in admitting that.

Suryakumar Yadav Back To Best As India Keep T20I Series Alive With Seven-Wicket Win Against West Indies

Suryakumar Yadav was back to his disdainful best as India stayed alive in the series with a seven-wicket win over the West Indies in the third T20I here on Tuesday. West Indies skipper Rovman Powell's whirlwind 40 not out off 19 balls pushed the hosts to 159 for five after Kuldeep Yadav (3/28) stemmed the flow of runs in the middle overs. Debutant Yashavi Jaiswal (1) and Shubman Gill (6) got out cheaply in run chase before Suryakumar came up with a special 83 off 44 balls to help India gun down the target in 17.5 overs. Tilak Varma (49 not out off 37) was happy to play second fiddle to his senior Mumbai Indians teammate in their 87-run stand. Tilak missed his second straight fifty in his debut series as skipper Hardik Pandya (20 not out off 15) hit the winning six.

India's Predicted XI vs West Indies, 3rd T20I: Will Sanju Samson Make Way For Yashasvi Jaiswal?

After facing two back-to-back defeats in the ongoing five-match series, Team India will be taking on West Indies in the third T20I match on Tuesday. India will need to bat with the fearlessness they often talk about as they look to avoid a series defeat. The slow pitches on offer have not been the best for batting but as skipper Hardik Pandya pointed out after the loss on Sunday, India should have a found way to score additional 10-20 runs.

India's Top-Order Under Pressure In Must-Win Game, Spinners Need To Stop Nicholas Pooran's Attack

India will need to bat with the fearlessness they often talk about as they look to avoid a series defeat in the third T20 International against the West Indies in Guyana on Tuesday. The slow pitches on offer have not been the best for batting but as skipper Hardik Pandya pointed out after the loss on Sunday, India should have a found way to score additional 10-20 runs. India, who last lost to the West Indies in a bilateral T20 series back in 2016, trail 0-2 in the five-match series. The shortest format demands the batters to go hard from ball one and that is something India's top-order, comprising Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav, have not been able to do.

Suryakumar Yadav's disappointing run of form continued as the Indian cricket team batter was run out for just 1 following a brilliant direct hit from West Indies' Kyle Mayers during the second T20I encounter in Guyana on Sunday. Ishan Kishan played a ball from Obed McCoy with soft hands and immediately called for a quick single. However, Mayers was extremely agile at mid-wicket and he quickly collected the ball and completed an impressive direct hit. The on-field umpire went for a review but replays made it clear that Suryakumar was well short of his crease and was dismissed cheaply once again.

India vs West Indies: Stats Reveal Worrying Factor For Hardik Pandya And Co Ahead Of 2nd T20I

Nicholas Pooran looked in top form as he slammed 41 off just 34 deliveries in the first T20I encounter between India and West Indies in Tarouba. He came into the match on the back of a successful Major Cricket League (MLC) campaign and he looked quite comfortable against the Indian bowling attack. The action now shifts to Providence Stadium in Guyana - a ground where Pooran has been quite successful in the past couple of games. In the last ODI he played at this venue, Pooran scored 73 against Bangladesh in 2022. During the same tour, West Indies face Bangladesh in a T20I match in Guyana and Pooran was once again the star as he scored 74 off 39 balls with five four and five sixes. India trail 0-1 in the five-match series and if the trend continues, Pooran can prove to be a major problem for the visitors.

Veteran cricketer Abhinav Mukund has backed the Hardik Pandya-led Team India to bounce back in the second T20I against West Indies on Monday. India trail West Indies 0-1 in the five-match series, following their defeat in the series opener on Thursday. India captain Hardik has been under criticism for his tactics during the match, which India lost by four wickets. However, Mukund has thrown his weight behind Hardik as he is leading a young team with a lot of fresh faces.
