Dinesh Karthik, an experienced wicketkeeper and batsman, has remarked that one of the primary goals of the Indian squad in the fourth Twenty20 international match against the West Indies would be to win and finish off the series. He confessed that for the Men in Blue to succeed in Florida, they would need to swiftly adjust to the circumstances there, which is something that they were unable to accomplish in the second Twenty20 International that was played in St. Kitts.
On Saturday, the fourth Twenty20 International of the five-match series will take place at Lauderhill, Florida between India and the West Indies (August 6). As a result of their victories in the first and third Twenty20 Internationals, the Indians now have a 2-1 lead in the series.
What did Dinesh Karthik say?
The only time the tourists were defeated in the series was in the second match, which took place in St. Kitts. Obed McCoy took six wickets as the visitors were bowled out for 138. Karthik made the following statement on India’s objectives before the fourth Twenty20 international:
“The best-case scenario for us would be to win the last game of the series. We are all aware of how talented the West Indies are. However, one of the most important things that has been pointed out to us is the fact that when we got to St. Kitts for the first game, we most likely did not adjust to the circumstances as soon as we would have liked to have done so.”
He proceeded by saying: “We are going to make an effort to understand the circumstances and the scenario here in Miami, and then we are going to do our best to put up a solid performance.”
After playing their first match of the Twenty20 International series at Tarouba, Trinidad, Team India moved on to play their next two matches in St. Kitts. They will wrap up the trip with two matches in Florida. When asked about the difficulties of competing in a variety of environments, Karthik gave the following response:
“One of the most important things that Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid bhai have spoken about throughout this series, right from the beginning, has been adaptation. The understanding of the circumstances is something that we have done quite well up to this point.”
India rallied well to win the third Twenty20 International by seven wickets and take a 2-1 lead in the series. This victory came after India suffered an unexpected loss by five wickets in the second Twenty20 International.
