Gill: India’s fielding and death bowling needs to improve

India captain Shubman Gill highlighted fielding and death bowling as key areas requiring improvement following their ODI series win against West Indies. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Gill noted that the bowling attack lacked clarity on when to attack or defend in the closing overs. He also cited six or seven dropped catches throughout the series as a concern heading into the next World Cup.

India played without Jasprit Bumrah and the injured Hardik Pandya, using the series under head coach Gautam Gambhir to test reserve bowling options. Despite a defeat in Saturday's final match—where India scored 351 after falling to 4 for 2 and suffered from a slow over-rate penalty—Gill earned Player of the Series honors after scoring 334 runs across three games.
