India vs West Indies Highlights And Cricket Score 3rd Match - T20I Commentary

End of Over : 20.0 IND: 240/3

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back on.

So, with West Indies most probably already one batsman down (Evin Lewis being stretchered off due to injury), can they chase this total down? They surely possess the firepower to do so and their memories of 2016 can surely give them a much-needed boost. Join us in a while for the second innings.

Ian Bishop has Rohit Sharma down for a quick chat. The Indian opener says that on pitches like these, one needs to back themselves to go for the big shots. Tells that Wankhede is a very good track to bat and all of the batters tried to stay positive. Mentions that West Indies are a dangerous side and hence they wanted to post as much as they can on the board. Feels that the bowlers need to bowl smartly to defend the total. Says that when the West Indies are in the mood, anything can happen so they will try to set the field well and bowl accordingly.

There was not much joy for the West Indies bowlers. Williams, Pollard and Cottrell each got a wicket but all of the West Indies bowlers were smashed all around the park.

It was a storm where the Windies team got blown away. It all started with Rohit and Rahul as they formed a brilliant and thunderous 135-run opening stand. They hit 72 runs in the Powerplay and that layed down the foundation for the rest of the innings. However, once Rohit departed, the run-flow slowed down a bit. Pant too followed him soon after coming in at number 3. Then in the latter stages came the Kohli storm. He played a devastating knock where he scored 70 runs off just 29 balls. Amidst all this, KL Rahul was brilliant at the other end as he powered his way to 91 runs.

Boom, boom and boom! That is how the innings has gone. India have scored an astonishing 240 runs which even the most optimistic of fans would not have expected before the start of the innings.

19.6 6

Sheldon Cottrell to Virat Kohli. SIX! What a finish to the innings. Fuller ball around off, Kohli lines himself and launches it over the bowler's head for a maximum. India end the innings on 240/3. A quickfire 70 from Kohli.

Sheldon Cottrell to Virat Kohli. Yorker on middle, Kohli jams it out and looks for a run for Iyer shows no interest. Kohli returns to his crease quickly.

Shreyas Iyer walks in to partner his skipper in the final over.

19.4 W

Sheldon Cottrell to KL Rahul. OUT! Caught! No second T20I hundred for Rahul. Slower back of a length ball around off, Rahul looks to pull but gets a top edge which goes left of Pooran who settles under the ball and pouches it easily. The umpire goes upstairs to check if it is second short ball of the over but the third umpire deems it a legal ball so Rahul has to walk back. He gets a tap on the back from the opposition skipper.

Again the umpire has gone upstairs. This time Rahul has been caught behind but the question is about height. Rahul is asking whether this can be given as the second bouncer of the over, and thus an illegal delivery.

19.3 1

Sheldon Cottrell to Virat Kohli. Full around off, Kohli pushes it towards long on for a single.

19.2 0

Sheldon Cottrell to Virat Kohli. NOT OUT! A day-light between bat and ball says the third umpire. A back of a length ball around off, Kohli looks to pull but misses out. The ball goes behind and Cottrell appeals. Not out says the umpire. West Indies opts for the review but nothing helping as the Ultra Edge rolls in and confirms no bat.

An appeal for caught behind has been taken upstairs. Replays come in and it doesn't seem that there is any bat involved there. Probably brushed the helmet on its way to the keeper. Let's see what the TV umpire thinks.

Skipper Kohli is having none of it as he is halfway down the track. Kohli runs and gets to the other end and Rahul has to start running towards the other end. Holder takes the ball, takes his time and goes for a direct hit towards the non-striker's end but misses. If he had hit, Rahul was a goner and he had already given up. Life for Rahul and he will be aiming to make the Windies pay.

14.1 6

The West Indies players come out of the huddle and are taking their positions in the field. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, the Indian openers walk out to the middle as well. Sheldon Cottrell will start the proceedings for the visitors with Rohit Sharma on strike. Here we go...

Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has got Shivam Dube down for an interview. The all-rounder says that getting the first half century feels good and says that he is proud. On his position at no. 3, Dube says that he was informed beforehand by the coach and captain that he will bat at that position. Tells that he tries to keep the same mindset in all the games. Says that he has been working hard on both bowling and batting. Feels that he needs to work hard on the bowling front. Mentions that he is very happy to be playing in front of the home crowd.

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli(C), Rishabh Pant(WK), Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav (IN FOR YUZVENDRA CHAHAL), Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Shami (IN FOR RAVINDRA JADEJA).

West Indies (UNCHANGED Playing XI) - Lendl Simmons, Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran(WK), Kieron Pollard(C), Jason Holder, Khary Pierre, Hayden Walsh, Sheldon Cottrell, Kesrick Williams.

Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, says that the pitch is great and tells that it is a great chance for them to put on a huge total. Tells that they want to take this challenge themselves so it's not a bad thing. Talking about the last game, the Indian skipper says that they had a decent total on the board. Mentions that poor fielding there didn't help. Feels that they need to do better in the field. Talking about the total they want to target, Kohli says that the batters first need to get in the zone and then they can score runs quickly. Reveals that there are two changes in the side. Mohammed Shami comes in for Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav replaces Yuzvendra Chahal in the XI.

West Indies skipper, Kieron Pollard, says that dew always plays a big factor at Wankhede and hence that decision. Mentions that they will look to use the first half of the innings to good effect. Tells that they will try to improve in all three departments. Informs that there are no changes to the playing XI.

Toss - Up goes the coin and it lands in the favour of the visitors. Like it has been said, West Indies opt to bowl first.

Pitch report - Murali Kartik has got Sunil Gavaskar for the pitch report. Gavaskar says that looking at the pitch, one can say why the batters love this surface. Says that the ball will come on the bat nicely. Tells that the surface is a bit damp and the new ball bowlers might get some assistance early on. Mentions that a lot of maximums will be hit in this game. Gavaskar says that dew is going to play an important role in this game too. Feels that the captain winning the toss will opt to chase.

A Kohli special in the first T20I was followed by West Indies' power-hitting in the second. The T20 caravan now moves to Wankhede for the series decider. India, who have been sloppy in the field will look to perform better in this game. The Indian skipper would also hope to see a better outing from the bowling unit of the side. Coming to the visitors, they'd remember their win against the Indians during the ICC T20 World Cup semifinal encounter in 2016 at the same venue. They knocked the hosts out and went on to win the tournament. They would want to put on a similar show tonight and clinch the series which looked highly unlikely before the series started. The toss is going to play an important factor as it always does on Indian pitches. Will the hosts be able to trump the 'power-full' Windies hitters to clinch the series or will the visitors be able to go full throttle once again and win their first T20I series in 2019? Stay tuned for the pitch report and toss.

End of Over : 20.0 WI: 173/8

So, a Kohli masterclass in the 1st game and then the visitors went bang bang in the second one to level the series. And, we witnessed a sixathon here at the Wankhede with Kohli's men lifting the trophy, with a win in the decider. What's next? Well, West Indies will look to challenge the Indians in the 50-over format in the three match series. The first one of those starts on Sunday, 15th December, 2019 at 1.30 pm local (0800 GMT). We will love to have your company for that game. Till then, cheers and take care.

VIRAT KOHLI GETS THE MAN OF THE SERIES. The Indian skipper, starts by saying that they have been speaking a lot of about batting first. Tells that he had a chance to do something different than what he does. Adds that he told Rahul that he will look to smash as many balls as possible and Rahul to hold one end. Tells that it is a special innings for him and says that it is a gift on his second wedding anniversary. On putting the big total, Kohli says that to gain confidence, one needs to score a massive total. Tells that Rahul and Rohit started brilliantly and they tried to get 25-30 extra runs by playing attacking cricket. Talking about hitting fours and sixes, the Indian skipper feels that it depends on which ground one is playing. Tells that boundaries in such games play a major roll. Feels that things can be different when one goes to Australia for the World Cup as the boundary sizes can be different there.

MAN OF THE MATCH GOES TO KL RAHUL FOR A BRILLIANT 91-RUN KNOCK. He starts by saying that Rohit and Virat were more destructive than him. Says that they are happy with the result and mentions that every game is important leading to the T20I World Cup. Talking about batting first, Rahul says that a lot of talk is going around that.

MAN OF THE MATCH GOES TO KL RAHUL FOR A BRILLIANT 91-RUN KNOCK. He starts by saying that Rohit and Virat were more destructive than him. Says that they are happy with the result and mentions that every game is important leading to the T20I World Cup. Talking about batting first, Rahul says that a lot of talk is going around that. Tells that they tried to put on a good total which the bowlers can defend. Says that leading to the World Cup in Australia, they would like to bat first more often. On the various formats, Rahul says that formats doesn't really matter as once the batter is set, run scoring becomes easy. Tells that his role is pretty clear to him and he tries his best to help his side win the game.

West Indies skipper, Kieron Pollard, says that he wants to take positives from the entire series. Tells that scoring 200 runs consistently is not easy. Says that they need to execute with the ball better but insists that it is work in progress. On the target, Pollard says that such totals have been chased here. Talking on Indian openers, Pollard says that they exploded from the start and did not allow the inexperienced bowlers to settle. On the upcoming T20 World Cup, Pollard says that there are a lot of young players in their domestic ranks. Tells that to succeed, one needs to work hard day in and day out.

Kumar says that he was happy that he got the wicket of Pollard. States that he is a good player and says that one can expect to be hit when he is batting. On how to get him out, he says that they can't bowl length balls to him and they have to rely on bowling bouncers. Adds that the outfield is fast and ball travels fast so it is difficult to bowl on this wicket. Stay tuned for the presentation.

Earlier, the Indian top order went full throttle as they put on a massive total in front of the visitors. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul added a massive 135-run stand for the opening wicket to give India a flying start. Then came the skipper, he was at his aggressive best during his 29-ball 70 to help India post such a massive mountain in front of the visitors. Before we get to the presentation, we've got Bhuvneshwar Kumar chatting with Sanjay Manjrekar.

As long as Indian bowling is concerned, Chahar, Kumar and Shami started brilliantly and ended up two wickets apiece. While Kumar got some thrashing, the duo of Chahar and Shami gave just 45 runs between them for 4 wickets. Kuldeep too was expensive in his four overs but the way Pollard was hitting and with dew on the ground, can't completely blame the bowler. With Pollard's onslaught going on, they kept their cool and eventually got the wicket of him. And once the Windies skipper departed, it was nothing but over for the visitors.

Indians started brilliantly with the ball and pegged the run chase with three quick wickets, with each of them coming from the three Indian pacers. However, Hetmyer and Pollard with a brilliant 74-run stand kept the Windies in the hunt. Hetmyer fell on a long hop to Kuldeep and things looked to go beyond the visitors. However, Pollard did not give up and continued going bonkers. He smashed 6 sixes and 5 fours on his way to 68. He miscued one off Kumar and with his wicket the series was done and dusted there itself.

That's it then. Another series win for Kohli's men at home. The domination from the Men in Blue continue. West Indies, courtesy a brilliant half ton from Pollard and a whipping 41 from Hetmyer did present some fight after a very poor start. However, once Pollard departed, things were beyond the reach of the visitors.
