On a tricky, double-paced pitch, the Indian bowlers put up a disciplined effort to restrict West Indies to a below-par total. Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh claimed two wickets apiece.

SKY also became the fastest Indian and the second fastest in the world to hit 100 sixes in T20I. It took him 49 innings to reach the milestone, only seven more Evin Lewis, who is number in this list.

SKY is the third Indian batter to hit more than 100 sixes in this format. Besides him, only Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have so far achieved this feat.

Suryakumar also surpassed Shikhar Dhawan to become the fourth leading scorer in T20I for India. In 51 matches, he has scored 1780 runs at an average of 45 and a strike rate of 174.

Suryakumar's knock helped India to remain alive in the series. They lost the first two games by close margins. They'd need to win the remaining two games to avoid a series defeat.
