Shreyas Iyer roared back to form with a stroke-filled 64 while the spinners picked up all the 10 wickets as India recorded yet another one-sided 88-run victory over West Indies to wrap up the five-match T20 International series by a comprehensive 4-1 margin here. It was Iyer's half-century and useful contributions from Deepak Hooda (38 off 25 balls) and stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya's (28 off 16 balls) cameo that propelled India to 188 for 7 in 20 overs after being put in to bat. Then, Pandya handed the new ball to Axar Patel (3-1-15-3), who quickly removed makeshift opener Jason Holder (0), Shamarah Brooks (13) and Devon Thomas (10) with three arm balls on a track where balls stopped and gripped off the surface. West Indies were all out for 100 runs inside 16 overs as one of the most lopsided T20I bilateral series came to an end even though India won't be complaining having ticked most of the boxes. Once Kuldeep Yadav (4-1-12-3) caught rival skipper Nicholas Pooran (3) … [Read more...] about India vs West Indies, 5th T20I: Shreyas Iyer, Spinners Star As India Thrash West Indies By 88 Runs | Cricket News

The Asia Cup 2022 will give India a chance to zero in on several slots in the 15-member squad. Some positions have already been claimed such as by captain Rohit Sharma, all-rounder’s slot by Hardik Pandya, and two slots in the middle-order by Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant, who will also certainly be India’s No 1 choice for the wicketkeeper batsman. Virat Kohli’s outings will be closely monitored. Even though Kohli still boasts of a wonderful T20I stats with him averaging over 50 and a good records in Australia, Kohli has not been among runs of late. His last 100 in International cricket came in December 2019 and since then more than three years have been lapsed without a three-figure mark. There is no denying of the fact that Kohli has made some fifties in T20I format along with other segments too but it cannot also be denied that big runs have dried up from his willow.
