  "account": "India has bolstered their T20I squad for the fifth and final match against West Indies, adding veteran fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar after Arshdeep Singh suffered a shoulder injury during the fourth match in Hyderabad. The series-deciding game is set to be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on October 17. Bhuvneshwar, 36, has been included as a cover for the injured left-arm pacer. The veteran, who last represented India in the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final, brings significant experience to the team. Bhuvneshwar's inclusion follows an impressive IPL 2026 campaign with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where he helped the team secure back-to-back titles. With India's T20I series against West Indies level at 2-2, Bhuvneshwar's addition provides the team with an experienced pace option ahead of the decider.",
