Hardik Pandya
India vs West Indies 3rd T20: In the third T20 game, the Indian team defeated the West Indies by 7 wickets. West Indies captain Rovman Powell won the first throw and decided to bat first, which turned out to be wrong. The West Indies batsmen were unable to match the Indian bowlers and the team managed just 159 runs in 20 overs. Team India easily achieved the small goal. Amazing performance by two players for the Indian team.
Team India won
Team India were chasing the goal of 160 runs and didn’t get off to a good start as opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was eliminated after scoring a run himself in his first game. After that, Shubman Gill returned to the pavilion after six runs. After the dismissal of these two, Suryakumar Yadav took over the responsibility of judging runs. He hit shots all over the floor and played explosive innings. Surya reappeared in his old rhythm. He hit 83 runs in 44 balls, including 10 fours and 4 long sixes. His Tilak Verma also contributed 49 runs and Hardik Pandya contributed 20 runs. Hardik gave Team India the win by hitting a six. No West Indies bowler could make an impression. Alzarri Joseph took 2 wickets and Obeth McCoy 1 wicket for the Windies.
Indian spinners dominated
In the third T20 match, Brendan King and Kyle Mayers fought for the West Indies. King contributed 42 and Meares 25, but the West Indies’ innings fell apart when Meares was sacked. He was fired by Akshar Patel. West Indies batsmen did not make big bats in front of Indian spinners. In the end, Rovman Powell definitely scored 40 runs in 19 balls.
Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav bowled brilliantly for India. Kuldeep took 3 wickets for 28 runs in four overs. At the same time, Akshar Patel got 1 wicket for 24 runs in 4 overs. In addition, a wicket was recorded by Mukesh Kumar.
Two changes in the Indian team
Ishan Kishan and Ravi Bishnoi were kicked out of the starting XI in the third T20 match. Yashasvi Jaiswal makes his T20 debut in this game. He showed a bang in domestic cricket and IPL. At the same time, Kuldeep Yadav was recalled in place of Bishnoi.
