Arshdeep Singh Injured in Fourth T20I; India Await Fitness Update Ahead of Decider
India pacer Arshdeep Singh suffered a shoulder injury after being struck by a short-pitched delivery from West Indies' Shamar Joseph during the fourth T20I, which India lost by 24 runs, leveling the series 2-2. Arshdeep retired hurt and was seen applying ice to his shoulder, with his availability for the series decider in Bengaluru uncertain. Sanju Samson provided updates expressing hope for his recovery. India may consider calling Bhuvneshwar Kumar as a replacement if Arshdeep is ruled out, though no official confirmation has been made.
