India edged West Indies by 14 runs in the third T20I in Indore, sealing a 2‑1 lead in the series.
Abhishek Sharma's 69 off 30 kept the hosts on target, breaking Suryakumar Yadav's record for fastest to 2,000 T20I runs in just 1,024 balls.
Shamar Springer's unbeaten 35 off 11, with three sixes, kept West Indies within reach until the final over, but the bowlers' ruthlessness ensured the total held.
In the post‑match huddle, Abhishek said the team remained ruthless because they knew the West Indians could swing a game in a flash, and they didn't want to give them that chance.
Arshdeep Singh took three wickets, while Naman Dhir added two, and the hosts defended 223/7 with a disciplined bowling attack.
The fourth T20I will be played in Hyderabad on Wednesday, where India will aim to clinch the series.
