India and West Indies head to Indore for potential run-fest with series level
After 501 runs were scored in Ranchi in just 38.3 overs, the two teams will be put to the sword in another batting paradise
India head coach Gautam Gambhir criticized the flat pitches in recent T20Is in Guwahati and Ranchi, after West Indies chased down a target of 250 and levelled the series at 1-1. Shai Hope's unbeaten 102 off 45 balls, coupled with Sherfane Rutherford's 120-run partnership, led the visitors to victory by six wickets. Gambhir emphasized the need for a fairer contest between bat and ball, stating that bowlers also have a stake in the game.
He acknowledged West Indies' world-class batting, particularly in the T20 format, and stressed that India must improve their response to defend big totals, especially when losing early wickets.
