India's Bowling Execution Criticized After 24-Run Loss to West Indies in Fourth T20I
India lost the fourth T20I against the West Indies by 24 runs in Hyderabad, with the visitors scoring 247 for three and India replying with 223 for nine. Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar and others attributed India's defeat to poor bowling execution rather than pitch conditions, noting bowlers struggled with full tosses and length. Critics questioned the exclusion of wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, suggesting the Hyderabad pitch favored an additional spinner. The series is now tied 2-2 ahead of the final match.
