During the fourth T20I between India and West Indies in Hyderabad on Wednesday, October 14, tensions heightened between India's opener Abhishek Sharma and West Indies all-rounder Keemo Paul during a post-match handshake. The two players exchanged heated words following India's 24-run victory, which leveled the five-match series at 2-2.
Players from both teams exchanged handshakes as the match concluded at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, but the exchange between Sharma and Paul caught the attention of the umpire and other players, who intervened to quell the situation and avert further escalation. The incident added to the intensity of a closely contested game where West Indies dominated with both bat and ball.
Meanwhile, West Indies captain Shai Hope shone with an unbeaten 102 off just 50 deliveries, while India's Sanju Samson scored 56 off 23 balls. Keemo Paul, however, turned the tide with a remarkable spell of bowling, taking five wickets for 41 runs. Despite India's aggressive start, they were dismissed for 223 in 19.3 overs, resulting in a 24-run victory for West Indies and a tied series.
