Abhishek Sharma reveals Team India's huddle talk during West Indies thriller

India’s relentless approach in the third T20I against West Indies in Indore proved decisive as they secured a 14-run victory to take a 2-1 series lead. The hosts, who had posted a challenging total of 223, restricted the visitors to 209/7, with Arshdeep Singh and Naman Dhir leading the bowling attack with three and two wickets respectively.

Despite a late surge from Shamar Springer, who scored an unbeaten 35 off 11 balls, India’s bowlers maintained their composure under pressure. Abhishek Sharma, who top-scored with 69 off 30 balls, revealed in a post-match interview that the team’s huddle discussions focused on staying aggressive and denying West Indies any chance to stage a comeback.

The Indian batter also achieved a personal milestone by becoming the fastest player to reach 2,000 T20I runs, doing so in just 1,024 deliveries—surpassing Suryakumar Yadav’s previous record. The win sets up a tense fourth match in Hyderabad, where India will look to build on their momentum while West Indies aim to salvage the series.
