The five-match T20I series between India and West Indies concluded with the visitors taking away a dominant 4-1 win. The fifth match saw India doing some experiments with their playing XI, which worked out well for them as batters managed to post 188 runs on the board.

During the match, a stat card shown on the telecast caught everyone's attention. Odean Smith, the West Indies all-rounder, has not had an illustrious career. His T20I stats were put up on the screen, showing his high economy rate of 10.95 in the 16 matches he played.

Along with these stats, there were also some of his traits as a bowler. One of those traits read, "Expensive in all phases". The fans on Twitter started talking about this right away. They mocked him for it and were ready to criticise his poor efforts.

Many fans questioned his contribution to the squad, while others advised him to concentrate only on his batting and give up bowling. "He should leave bowling and try to improve his batting instead. . He is good slogger," a fan wrote. "Why he is in team BC? No bowler no batsmen to hai kya Bala?" another fan wrote.

Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya was given the leadership for the game, and he would be happy with how his team played. Shreyas Iyer (64), who opened the innings, scored a brilliant half-century, while other batters performed well too. The men in blue set up a massive target of 189 runs to chase down.

In the chase, the men in maroon were never in the game as they kept losing wickets regularly. Axar Patel began the wicket spree for India in the very first over. Spinners had all the success as they shared 10 wickets among them. Ravi Bishnoi took four wickets in his spell, while Kuldeep Yadav and Patel each took three. For the home side, only Shimron Hetmyer (56) did well as they were bundled out for just 100 runs.
