India secured a 14‑run victory over West Indies in the third T20I in Indore, chasing a target of 223. Arshdeep Singh contributed three wickets, dismissing Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford among others, and added 11 runs with the bat, including a towering six. ## What Happened The Indian innings saw a mis‑communication between Arshdeep and fellow all‑rounder Axar Patel, leading to Patel’s run‑out. Arshdeep later admitted fault, saying, “Sorry to Axar bhai … I got you run out.” In the field, India executed a pre‑planned strategy to keep Shai Hope in check, a plan Arshdeep praised as well‑executed by the bowlers, with Mayank Yadav building pressure from the other end. All six bowlers chipped in to restrict West Indies, clinching the win by 14 runs. ## Reaction Arshdeep highlighted the trust coaches placed in the players and stressed the need to improve batting lower down the order, noting his six as a rare bright spot. He thanked the coaching staff for the clear plan against Hope. ## Context The win gave India a 2‑1 lead in the five‑match series, leaving two matches to decide the final outcome.
