Team India fans on Twitter came down heavily on Hardik Pandya for his decisions during the game especially not giving enough overs to leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. “Tough being Yuzi Chahal. He got you back in the game with a double-wicket over, with Windies down on their knees, and somehow the skipper took him off the attack. And India lost. Go figure," one user said.

"The score didn't matter to me as long as I was batting. It was about being smart and controlling the game. I felt like it was a decent wicket and we are accustomed to getting such wickets here. The bowlers are going to give you half-volleys, full tosses," he added.
