3 changes India must make for the series decider 5th T20I vs West Indies

With the five-match T20I series tied at 2-2, India and West Indies prepare for a final showdown on October 17, 2026. India enters the match following a 24-run defeat in Hyderabad, though they previously secured a 2-1 victory in the ODI portion of the tour.

Captain Shreyas Iyer and vice-captain Tilak Varma are tasked with leading the squad as they look to adjust their strategy for the decider. Analysts suggest that reintroducing Kuldeep Yadav could bolster the bowling attack, while the batting lineup must improve its scoring pace during the middle overs.

Furthermore, the seamers are encouraged to incorporate more tactical variations to better suit the conditions in Bengaluru.
