Arshdeep Singh Injured by Bouncer as West Indies Win Fourth T20I; Bowling Tactics Criticized
During the fourth T20I between India and West Indies in Hyderabad, Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh was struck by a bouncer from West Indies bowler Shamar Joseph in the final over, causing visible pain and leading to his retirement hurt. Despite India's unlikely chance of winning, Joseph continued bowling short deliveries, drawing criticism from former cricketers Shreevats Goswami and Sunil Gavaskar, who questioned the sportsmanship of targeting an injured tailender. India captain Shreyas Iyer urged Arshdeep to retire, ending the innings early. West Indies won by 24 runs, leveling the series 2-2.
