Sammy says West Indies continue to improve despite series defeat in India

West Indies head coach Daren Sammy remains upbeat about his squad's trajectory despite dropping the first two contests of their current bilateral fixture against India, a touring drought lasting over twenty years. Across the opening pair of fixtures in Thiruvananthapuram and Guwahati, the visiting batting lineup produced massive totals of 295 and 405 for 7 alongside four individual centuries, though the hosts successfully chased both targets.

Sammy highlighted key performance indicators such as positive strokeplay, spin-tacking intent, and top-order contributions as evidence of forward momentum. However, he also noted missed opportunities to capitalize during the final ten overs in Guwahati, while praising opposition openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill for neutralizing the bowling attack early.

The tour concludes with the final match taking place in New Chandigarh on October 3, 2026.
