Dinesh Karthik suggests Kuldeep Yadav's inclusion for 4th T20I against West Indies

Former India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik has advised team management to bring left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav into the playing eleven for the fourth match of the ongoing series against West Indies. India currently hold a two-one lead in the five-game contest, and Karthik believes the bowler's recent form—featuring seven scalps across three innings at an average of 23.85—makes him a vital addition.

Speaking on his tactical preferences for the upcoming fixture, the analyst noted that substituting an all-rounder for an extra specialist bowler would properly balance the squad for the conditions at the venue. Karthik also commended the leadership of stand-in captain Shreyas Iyer, praising his flawless bowling changes and decision-making during previous outings.
