IND vs WI T20Is | We would always like to take the aggressive option: Morkel

India bowling coach Morne Morkel defended his bowlers ahead of the T20I series decider against the West Indies at Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, stating the team will always aim for the aggressive option to dismiss batters. His comments followed massive successful chases by the West Indies, who tracked down 352 in an ODI and 250 in a T20I behind unbeaten centuries from skipper Shai Hope.

Morkel acknowledged that heavy dew and powerful hitting make defending totals challenging, while also highlighting mental fatigue from a congested travel and match schedule. India added Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the squad as an injury replacement for Arshdeep Singh ahead of the fifth match, with the five-game series currently tied at 2-2.
