After winning the third T20I against West Indies in Guyana, team India reached the United States of America to play the remaining two matches of the series. They have already hit the field and started training as players like Ishan Kishan and Ravi Bishnoi have raised concerns regarding the extreme heat. On the other hand, Tilak Varma, who’s in spectacular form at the moment, is enthralled to come to the USA and play cricket for the first time.
Meanwhile, ace pacer Avesh Khan reminded that he won his first Player of the Match in the USA and hence, it’s a special place to him. Indian skipper Hardik Pandya meanwhile stated that by the term USA, he understands the dreams of millions of people. Spin wizard Kuldeep Yadav meanwhile mentioned that Lionel Messi’s name comes to his mind whenever he thinks about the USA as the World Cup-winning captain recently switched sides to play for Inter Miami in the Major League Football (MLC).

India desperate for a win in fourth T20I
After losing the first two T20Is of the series, India managed to bounce back and win the third match by seven wickets. Flamboyant batter Suryakumar Yadav and young sensation Tilak Varma were phenomenal with the bat and courtesy of their performances, the visiting team won the match with absolute ease.
However, there are certain concerns too. Openers Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal have failed to step up in the last match and that’s a concern. The batters will have to be more consistent as the series is on the line.
When it comes to West Indies, Nicholas Pooran is in incredible form. Skipper Rovman Powell too has done really well and hence, it will not be an easy task for the Men in Blue. It’s just the bowlers that will have to get better in the fourth T20I in Florida. They did a good job in the first two matches of the series but lost a bit of momentum in the last match.
