IND vs WI, 5th T20I: India look to get their batting act together in decider

India and the West Indies are tied 2-2 heading into the fifth T20I in Bengaluru, with the hosts looking to fix flaws in their batting lineup. Openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma have struggled to produce balanced partnerships, while the middle order featuring Ishan Kishan, captain Shreyas Iyer, and Naman Dhir has failed to capitalize on starts.

Shreyas Iyer opened the series with a century in Lucknow but has seen his subsequent scores drop to 40, 1, and 16. A defeat in the upcoming match could jeopardize his standing as skipper, making a strong team performance essential for the hosts to secure the series.
