India’s batting performance in the first two games was problematic, mainly due to the poor performance of top batsman Suryakumar Yadav(SKY). However, SKY played superbly in the third game and won Player of the Match for his efforts. Suryakumar Yadav’s aggressive performance in the third T20I match helped India stay alive in the series. The West Indies currently lead the five-match series 2-1.

SKY aided Indian hopes of surviving the series
With a seven-wicket victory over the West Indies in the third T20I played here on Tuesday, Suryakumar Yadav was back to his aggressive best, helping India stay alive in the series. After Kuldeep Yadav (3/28) stopped the flow of runs in the middle overs, West Indies captain Rovman Powell sped to 40 not out off 19 balls, pushing the hosts to 159 for five.
Indian Innings in brief
An outstanding 83 off 44 balls from Suryakumar helped India reach the target in 17.5 overs after cheap wickets fell to rookie Yashasvi Jaiswal (1) and Shubman Gill (6) in the run chase. This strong start laid the groundwork for the rest of the game. Tilak Varma was an excellent choice for Suryakumar because he needed a trustworthy partner. The pair’s playing style was a well-balanced mix of aggressive and calm.
While Varma expertly rotated the strike, Suryakumar concentrated on scoring from the boundaries. They scored 87 runs together for the third wicket as a pair. Tilak missed his second consecutive fifty in his debut series as captain Hardik Pandya (20 not out of 15) hit the decisive six.
