Arshdeep Singh Injury and Final Over Bowling Tactics Draw Criticism in India-West Indies T20I
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, causing an injury scare. Despite pain, Arshdeep continued batting until India captain Shreyas Iyer asked him to retire hurt, ending the innings. The West Indies won by 24 runs, leveling the series. Former cricketers Shreevats Goswami and Sunil Gavaskar criticized Joseph's repeated short-pitched deliveries at an injured Arshdeep, questioning the sportsmanship of targeting a struggling batter in a decided match.
