India’s bowling attack endured a difficult outing in the fourth T20I against the West Indies at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday, October 14. After winning the toss, captain Shreyas Iyer elected to bowl first, but the decision failed to produce the desired results as the visitors piled up a massive total.

Team India has been conceding too many runs

Mayank Yadav started with a disciplined over, conceding just three runs. However, the West Indies batters soon took control, racing to 79/1 by the end of the powerplay. Captain Shai Hope continued his impressive run on the tour, smashing an unbeaten 102 off 50 balls to lead the visitors’ batting charge.

Sherfane Rutherford provided excellent support with an unbeaten 49 off 26 deliveries, while Shimron Hetmyer contributed a quickfire 33 from just 12 balls. Their aggressive batting helped West Indies finish at 247/3 in 20 overs, registering the second-highest first-innings total by a team against India in T20I cricket.

Romario Shepherd then finished the chase with an unbeaten 34 off 13 balls as West Indies reached the target in 18.3 overs, winning by six wickets.

Mayank Yadav claimed three wickets in that match but conceded 36 runs in three overs. With India’s bowlers struggling to contain the opposition across the series, their performance has become a major talking point ahead of the remaining matches.
