Team India's win in the fourth T20I saw Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill register the second 150-plus partnership in run chases as the two batters came closer to surpassing their own record. Jaiswal and Gill had aggregated 165 runs for India against West Indies in Lauderhill, Florida in August 2023 and it remains the highest partnership for India in T20I run chases for any wicket.
Team India would now look to finish the series on a high with a win in the fifth match on Sunday (July 14).
