Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar believes India made a tactical blunder by entrusting spinner Kuldeep Yadav with the vital 17th over rather than calling upon speedsters Mayank Yadav or Arshdeep Singh during the high-scoring second T20I in Ranchi, which West Indies won by six wickets to tie the five-match series 1-1.

Kuldeep proved costly, leaking 24 runs in a decisive over featuring three sixes, a boundary, and a wide, shifting the momentum firmly toward the visitors in their massive pursuit of 250.
