'Batting unit needs to show more responsibility': Gavaskar after 4th T20I loss

Following a 24-run defeat in the fourth T20 International, former captain Sunil Gavaskar stressed that the Indian batting lineup must display greater accountability when pursuing targets. West Indies successfully defended a massive total of 247 for three in Hyderabad on Wednesday, despite a rapid opening half-century from Sanju Samson.

Keemo Paul claimed five wickets to dismiss India for 223, leveling the five-match series and forcing a decisive final fixture in Bengaluru. Gavaskar pointed out that several teammates failed to capitalize on the strong start and dew-assisted conditions, specifically citing poor shot selection from Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, alongside a slump in form for Shreyas Iyer.

Meanwhile, Cheteshwar Pujara lauded opposing captain Shai Hope for his second hundred of the series, noting his intelligent gap-selection and proficiency against spin.
