IND vs WI 3rd T20: Abhishek, Arshdeep to the fore as India wins a batathon to go 2-1 up

India secured a 14-run victory over the West Indies in the third T20I at Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Asked to bat first, India posted a total of 223 all out, led by opener Abhishek Sharma's rapid 69 off 30 deliveries. In response, the West Indies fell short despite a spirited chase, finishing their innings at 209 for seven.

Abhishek starred in a 108-run second-wicket partnership with Ishan Kishan before West Indies spinner Roston Chase struck to spark a middle-order collapse. During the chase, Arshdeep Singh claimed three for 44, including the crucial dismissal of West Indies captain Shai Hope, while Naman Dhir added two wickets to preserve India's four-year streak without back-to-back home T20I defeats.
