BackAs hosts look to win series-decider in Bengaluru tonight, its bowlers will have to find answers quickly against the rampaging West Indies skipper, who has hammered two unbeaten tons in last three T20Is
Having traversed the length and the breadth of the country, the five-match T20I series has pitched tent here for Saturday’s final act of a bat-dominated showdown that is dead square at 2-2.
India and West Indies have matched each other blow for stunning blow. Every scything four and every towering six has thrust the dagger deeper into the collective heart of the bowling fraternity, which has endured flat tracks, powerful batters, quick outfields, and debilitating dew uncomplainingly. The margin for error has been minuscule bordering on the non-existent and even targets of 250 aren’t safe, a sad commentary on the state of affairs that encourages a shocking mismatch between bat and ball.
