IND vs WI: "Well Done SKY And Tilak" - Twitter Jubilant As India Beat West Indies In 3rd T20I

Fans on Twitter reacted after India thumped West Indies by 7 wickets in just 17.5 overs in the third game of the five-match series at the Providence Stadium in Guyana to keep the series alive. 

After being asked to bowl first, India didn’t have a good start with the ball as West Indies openers Kyle Mayers (25) and Brandon King (42) smashed 55 runs for the opening partnership. Nicholas Pooran played a vital knock of 20 runs but Kuldeep Yadav made the opposition batter look clueless as he picked up three wickets in the middle. 

It looked like the West Indies will be bundled for a low total but skipper Rovman Powell played a blinder in the end and smashed unbeaten 40 runs in just 19 balls to take his team to a total of 159 runs. Apart from Kuldeep, Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar picked one wicket each for India. 

Chasing the target, it was another horrible outing for Indian openers as debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal scored just 1 run and Shubman Gill managed just 6 runs. But it was a blessing in disguise for the team as Suryakumar Yadav regained his touch and played a staggering innings and made a mockery of West Indies bowlers. 

He smashed fiery 83 runs off 44 balls to completely take the game away from the West Indies. Tilak Varma supported him well and scored unbeaten 49 runs before skipper Hardik Pandya (20*) finished the game for his team to win the first game of the series by 7 wickets.

Sorry West Indies can't revive your cricket anymore. We gotta prepare for the trophy.

When it's SKY's day in a T20 game, it's hard to stop both him and India from winning the game. 83* off just 44 balls with strike-rate of 188.64. ?

India win by 7 wkts. Series 2-1. Two games to go. pic.twitter.com/LOVCmi47Wp

Surya scoring runs is always so pleasing. What’s more pleasing is to see the start of Tilak Verma’s career. Well done team india. #INDvWI

Rarely you see a 20-year-old come in and just look like he's been here all this while. Tilak is a special kid and hopefully will get all the time and opportunities to achieve greatness.

Even if Suryakumar Yadav fails for 10 innings straight, he will still be the best T20 batter. Just do not jump the gun in questioning him in T20Is. #CricketTwitter #WIvsIND #SuryakumarYadav #IndianCricketTeam

– 39(22) in 1st T20I.
– 51(41) in 2nd T20I.
– 49*(37) in the 3rd T20I.

A crazy start to the International career for 20-year-old Tilak Varma.

A player for the future…!!!! pic.twitter.com/d1EbFqXSE1

SKY is India's best T20 bat ever.

— Himanish Ganjoo (@hganjoo_153) August 8, 2023

Tilak Varma deserves to be in the ODI World Cup squad considering the kind of improvement he has shown against short balls and hard lengths since IPL 2023. And his temperament has always been good. India needs a LHB in their middle order who can bat well on all kinds of wickets.… https://t.co/P7xMSrpGz1

Unlike West Indies' patchy wins in the first two T20Is, this has been a dominant performance by India. India should ideally be leading the series 3-0! #cricket #HardikPandya #WIvInd #WIvsInd

When he bats there aren’t too many who can create or pierce angles like him. Wish some day Surya Kumar Yadav can translate his T20 aura into ODIs too. Hope the selectors do persist with him in the World Cup #SKY #Surya #IndvWI

@hardikpandya7 you should have allowed @TilakV9 to take his half century. The last ball 6 was not at all needed. If @imVkohli or @msdhoni was the captain, Tilak would have taken his 50! Shameful senior ego?#IndvsWI #ICC #Ego #IndianCricketTeam

At 4th position Tilak Varma has been consistent for Mumbai Indians for last two seasons

At 4th position Tilak Varma showing his consistency in T20Is at a very early stage

Definitely Mr. Consistent Of Cricket!!#INDVsWI #WIVsIND #TilakVarma

Tilak should be the front runner for the number 4 position in World Cup for #TeamIndia.

Forget abt Iyer or anyone else.#IndvsWI
