India defeats the Windies by 7 wickets to take a 2-1 lead

India defeated the West Indies by seven wickets in the third T20 International to grab a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Suryakumar Yadav top-scored with a 44-ball 76 as India knocked down the total of 165 with six balls to spare. Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten on 33 off 26 balls. West Indies’ wickets came from bowlers Akeal Hosein, Dominic Drakes and Jason Holder.

Yadav smashed boundaries with ease thanks to his 360-batting style, providing a peek of India’s aggressive approach in the 20-over format. His quick performance, which included eight fours and four sixes, meant that the visitors reached the mark with an over to spare in St Kitts.

The West Indies scored 164 runs in 20 overs against India. West Indies opener Kyle Mayers led the way with a 50-ball 73, while Rovman Powell chipped in with 23. Bhuvneshwar Kumar claimed two wickets for 35 runs for India, while Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh each took one.

India won the first T20I by 68 runs before falling short by five wickets and loosing the second.

This is Rohit Sharma’s 28th T20I victory as India’s captain. Under him, India has only lost six matches. India got off to a terrific start with Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, chasing a goal of 165. However, Rohit Sharma was forced to withdraw hurt because to a back spasm. However, Suryakumar Yadav was in his element when he faced West Indian bowlers, particularly Alzarri Joseph. He reached his half-century in just 26 balls. He hit 76 off 44 balls, with eight boundaries and four sixes.

He hit some beautiful shots off Alzarri Joseph. He lofted a Joseph back-of-the-length delivery over long off for a 6. This was the decisive stroke, and West Indies realised there was no going back. He and Shreyas Iyer combined 86 runs off 59 balls to help India win the match.

Rishabh Pant also performed well scoring 30 runs off 19 balls alongside Suryakumar Yadav to help India draw closer to their aim. In the end, he finished undefeated on 33 off 26, leading India to victory.
