Abhishek Sharma's 69 helps India take 2-1 T20 series lead
India beat West Indies by 14 runs in the third of their five T20 international matches in Indore.
The win gave India a 2-1 lead in the series.
Opener Abhishek Sharma scored 69 from 30 balls, helping India make 223.
He said West Indies used off-spinner Roston Chase and an off-side field to limit his scoring options.
Abhishek adjusted by looking for ways to score against that plan, and shared a 108-run second-wicket stand with Ishan Kishan, who made 37.
India then restricted West Indies to 209 for seven, with Arshdeep Singh taking three wickets for 44 runs.
The series continues, but the sources do not give details of the next match.
