Over his accessibility for this fourth T20I match against West Indies.

In any case, he was seen doing warmups and emerged for the throw, which was postponed by 45 mins because of downpour and wet outfield.

India, then again, rolled out three improvements getting Sanju Samson for Shreyas Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi for R Ashwin, and Axar Patel for Hardik Pandya in the playing XI from the last match.
