5 things India did wrong to lose the one-off T20I

Ashwin yet again failed to inspire much confidence

Three spin bowlers on a bouncy flat wicket? I understand that Hardik Pandya got injured right before the game, but that’s ridiculous. What did you expect on a smallish ground with a flat pitch and Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis and Marlon Samuels?

This isn’t the West Indies side that got bullied for two weeks, Team India. These guys will destroy anything a touch full and eat spinners like Ashwin and Jadeja for lunch in the shorter formats. Let’s face facts, Ashwin and Jadeja are waning powers in the shorter formats and are liabilities.

Their batting isn’t up to scrap and their bowling, while it serves India well in Tests, is a little obsolete in T20s. The batting order was okay.
