India, on Saturday, took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match T20 series against West Indies on Saturday. India put in a collective effort with both bat and ball to help the team win the game and the series. 

Batting first, India notched a mammoth score of 191 runs at the end of the first innings. Skipper, Rohit Sharma (33), Samson (30), and Rishabh Pant (44) all came up with notable contributions with the bat.

Later, India bowled beautifully to bundle out West Indies for just 132 runs on the board. Arshdeep Singh returned with great figures of 3/12, while Avesh Khan, Axar Patel, and Ravi Bishnoi picked up two wickets each.

Rishabh Pant was at his usual best as he played a lot of jaw-dropping shots. He got 44 runs off 31 balls which allowed the visitors to post a big total. But, Pant's antics behind the stumps once again made headlines as Rohit Sharma lost his cool because of that. 

A huge mix-up between opposition captain Nicholas Pooran and Kyle Mayer's led to the former's run-out in the fifth over. Pooran drove Axar Patel's delivery to cover-point and set off for a single only to be stranded mid-way on the pitch.

Fielder Sanju Samson was quick to throw it to Pant, who deliberately took time to inflict the run-out, which had Rohit yelling at him. The Indian captain was seen asking Pant to whip the bails without wasting any more time.

For India, skipper Rohit also chipped in with 33 off 16 balls to get his side to a blazing start. "I think it was pleasing how we played the game. The conditions were not easy but we got to a good score. A lot of thought went in on how we batted and it was pleasing to see. The pitch was quite slow which our bowlers used to their advantage," said Rohit after the game.

"I thought 190 was a good score, but with the kind of batting that WI have, no score is good. We played good cricket to get the win today. The batters were really smart and the bowlers bowled in pairs to get wickets. It put the brakes on their scoring," he added.

With this win, The Indian side gets a comfortable 3-1 lead in the series against the hosts. The Final T20I of the series will be played today.
