India head coach Gautam Gambhir defended the choice to promote Shivam Dube to No. 4 despite his low score in the second T20I against West Indies. Speaking after the match in Ranchi, Gambhir emphasized that only opening batting positions are fixed in T20 cricket, insisting the team will continue adapting the rest of the order based on match situations.
India posted 249/5 behind Sanju Samson's 82, alongside contributions from Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Varma. However, West Indies chased down the target in 18.3 overs behind Shai Hope's unbeaten 102 and Sherfane Rutherford's 84 to level the five-match series 1-1.
