Washout finale leaves India-WIndies T20 series drawn

India lost their opener Abhishek ​Sharma for six off the bowling of Keemo Paul but Ishan Kishan then hammered 30 off 10 balls to provide the early impetus.

The hosts surged ⁠to 5-118 in ‌7.4 ​overs but the rain returned before the innings could ​be completed, ‌forcing the players off the field. With conditions ​failing to improve, officials ended the match and both teams shared the series ​honours.

The ​washout was a grievous disappointment in the first international fixture at Chinnaswamy ‌Stadium in two years. 

Veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, recalled to India's T20 squad for the first time since November 2022, was denied the ​chance to mark his return with the ​ball.
