WI VS IND - 4th T20I, India tour of West Indies, 2023

India, after going down 0-2, make it 2-2. We have a decider and tune in tomorrow to find out who'll win the final T20I. Until then, goodbye...

Hardik Pandya | India captain: There are more Indians here. The way they have been supporting, they've been coming in numbers, they make sure that we give them some entertainment. There is no doubt in their (Gill and Jaiswal) skill set. Going forward, we'll have to take responsibility as a batting group and help out our bowlers. Bowlers win matches. If they can get you a couple of wickets, you can control the game. Shubman and Yashasvi were brilliant. The way they ran in this heat ... and ... making sure they finished the job, it was very pleasing to see. I like to captain how I see the game. I like to go with my instincts. We lost two games but the first game, it was our own error, we were cruising quite well, we messed it up in the last four overs and didn't cross the line. We didn't do much different in the next two games. All these games gives us a lot of confidence. We had to pull up our socks and play good cricket, that's exactly what the boys did. In T20 cricket, no one's favourite. You have to turn up and play good cricket. You got to respect the opposition. They were 2-0 up because they played better cricket than us. Tomorrow we turn up and do exactly what we did today and hope for the best.

Rovman Powell | West Indies captain: It's a pretty good batting surface. We were maybe 10-15 runs short. Having said that, Hetmyer and Hope played well. There's quality bowling in our unit. We didn't stick to our plans, you'll always find under pressure against quality batters. From the start of the series, we always knew it's gonna come down to how we bat against spin. We didn't bat well in the middle overs. If we can improve against spin, then we'll do well. It's 2-2, both teams have played well to reach where they are. Tomorrow is the final and in a final, I'd back West Indies. I am feeling okay and ready to the lead the guys again tomorrow.

Yashasvi Jaiswal | Player of the Match: It's not easy, I am happy to go out there and express myself. I would like to thank the support staff and Hardik bhai, they've shown faith. That shows so much impact on my mind. I try to play how team needs and how I can express myself towards the plan. I try to score quickly, how many shots I can play in the powerplay and put my team in a nice shape. Reading the wicket, reading the situation, how I can take the game deep everything is important. My intent is always to score runs. I have played a lot of balls against them (Holder and McCoy in the IPL), helped me to read them. It (partnership with Gill) was really amazing the way we were talking and the way we were taking singles and understanding each other. He batted really well. The way he was rotating the strike, it's really important to build the partnership. I want to thank everyone coming here and supporting us in this heat. Thank you so much.

13:52 Local Time, 17:52 GMT, 23:22 IST: India make a mockery of West Indies' 178. Jaiswal set the tone by getting off the mark with a boundary off the very first ball of the chase. Scored 10 runs off the opening over, struck three fours off a Holder over and then hit back-to-back boundaries off Shepherd. Gill, on the other hand, was watchful at the start but he made up for that in quick time. It was an eventful powerplay with India scoring 66 runs, hitting plenty of boundaries (7 fours from Jaiswal, 3 sixes and a four from Gill) and not losing a wicket. The openers continued to score at a brisk rate and brought up the century partnership in the tenth over. Gill notched up a fifty after three successive single-digit scores and Jaiswal raised his maiden T20I fifty in the same over. West Indies looked clueless against the onslaught. The 165-run opening stand eventually came to an end when Gill holed out to deep mid-wicket but that wicket came very late for the Windies. India romped home with 18 balls to spare. Earlier, Hetmyer top-scored and Shai Hope batted well in his comeback match but 178 turned out to be inadequate. Presentations coming up shortly...
