India vs West Indies T20 series ends in 2-2 draw after final washout
Rain ended the fifth T20 with no result, leaving India and West Indies sharing the series honours at two wins each.
India and West Indies finished their five-match T20 series 2-2 after persistent rain washed out the deciding game in Bengaluru. The contest was reduced to nine overs per side, and India had reached 5-118 off 7.4 overs when rain forced the players off the field again.
Ishan Kishan hit 30 off 10 balls to give the hosts early momentum, but conditions did not improve enough to resume play. Officials called the match with no result.
The washout denied veteran seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar a chance to mark his return to India's T20 squad for the first time since November 2022.
