Sanju benificiary, Bhuvi left in resentment: India vs West Indies T20 series ends in draw

India’s T20I series against the West Indies concluded in a 2-2 draw after the fifth and final match was abandoned due to heavy rain. The game was initially reduced to a nine-over-a-side contest before persistent downpours forced its complete cancellation.

India, batting first, reached 118 for 5 in just 7.4 overs, with opener Abhishek Sharma falling early for six runs. Ishan Kishan provided a fiery start, smashing three fours and two sixes before his dismissal, while Sanju Samson also contributed with a quickfire 16 off seven balls, including a powerful uppercut over point.

The series saw Samson dominate with 168 runs across the five matches, including two half-centuries, solidifying his position as India’s opening batter. Meanwhile, Cricket West Indies CEO Chris Dehring criticized the revenue-sharing model, which favors host nations like India, as a contributing factor to the Caribbean board’s financial struggles, including recent pay cuts for players.
