3 things India need to fix ahead of 3rd T20I after Ranchi defeat

Following a six-wicket loss to West Indies that leveled the series at one game apiece, the Indian cricket squad faces three critical adjustments ahead of the upcoming third fixture. Despite accumulating a massive total of 249/5 in twenty overs at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on October 9, 2026, the bowling unit failed to defend the target as the visitors chased it down within 18.3 overs, reaching 252/4 behind stellar knocks from Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir must address bowling execution in the death overs, middle-over struggles against spin following Roston Chase's three-wicket haul, and the tendency of top-order contributors like Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, and Abhishek Sharma to squander strong starts.
