'Why attack the batter?': Gavaskar fumes as Shamar Joseph hits Arshdeep Singh

Sunil Gavaskar expressed strong displeasure with fast bowler Shamar Joseph after a short delivery struck Arshdeep Singh on the shoulder during the fourth T20I in Hyderabad. India fell short of the 247-run target by 24 runs as West Indies leveled the series, with Shai Hope contributing an unbeaten 102 and Keemo Paul claiming five wickets.

Arshdeep attempted to continue batting despite physical discomfort and a retirement suggestion from captain Shreyas Iyer before eventually leaving the crease. Gavaskar also criticized the Indian batting lineup's overall lack of responsibility during chases, setting up a final showdown in Bengaluru.
