India and West Indies T20I cricket series
Overview
The Indian national cricket team arrived in Ranchi for the second T20I match of a five-match series against the West Indies, holding a 1-0 series lead. Prior to the match, attention focused on the form of Sanju Samson and the potential debut of Vaibhav Suryavanshi.
In the second T20I at the JSCA International Stadium Complex, India posted a total of 249/5. Sanju Samson led the scoring with 82 runs off 41 balls, matching a record for the fastest T20I fifty against the West Indies. Other significant contributions included 44 unbeaten runs from Tilak Varma, 43 from Ishan Kishan, and 40 runs from captain Shreyas Iyer. Mayank Yadav was the standout bowler for India, taking 3/36.
West Indies responded by achieving the second-highest successful run chase in T20I history, reaching 252/4 in 18.3 overs to secure a six-wicket victory and level the series at 1-1. Shai Hope scored an unbeaten 102 off 45 balls, setting a record for the second-fastest T20I century for West Indies, supported by Sherfane Rutherford’s 84 off 37 balls. A decisive 120-run fourth-wicket partnership between Hope and Rutherford followed an early period where West Indies struggled at 5/2 following wickets from Mayank Yadav. Romario Shepherd contributed an unbeaten 34 to finish the game. The match set a record for the second-highest aggregate score in men’s T20I history with a combined total of 501 runs and 79 sixes.
The match has drawn scrutiny regarding the flat nature of Indian pitches and the impact of dew on defending high totals. Following the loss, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir criticized the batting-friendly nature of the pitch, expressing concern for the careers of bowlers facing such extreme conditions. The series moves to Indore for the third T20I.
