Daren Sammy questions India's conditions after third T20I win over New Zealand
Summary

In the third T20I at Wellington on October 27, India successfully chased down New Zealand's 198, winning by reaching 199 in just 13.2 overs. Abhishek Sharma's blistering 113 off 38 balls highlighted the record powerplay performance, with 118 runs scored without loss. West Indies coach Daren Sammy responded to this with a sarcastic tweet referencing smaller boundaries, batting-friendly pitches, and wet conditions affecting bowlers. Sammy's remarks seemed to challenge the conditions that contributed to India's success, despite his previous praise for his own team during their series against India earlier this month. The ongoing five-match series now sees India leading 3-0, with two matches remaining.

India made short work of NZ in the 3rd T20I at Wellington, but West Indies head coach Darren Sammy had some praise up his sleeve that seemed more like a dig at the Men in Blue.
