West Indies level the five‑match T20I series at 2‑2 with a 247‑223 victory over India in the fourth encounter, sparked by Shai Hope's unbeaten 102 off 50 balls.
Hope's blistering 102* came off just 50 deliveries, including 12 fours and five sixes, while Keemo Paul seized the spotlight with a five‑wicket haul, ending India's chase in 19.3 overs.
Samson pointed out that the real shift happened when Tilak Varma was dismissed for 43, cutting a promising partnership with Reddy and forcing India to wobble.
Closer to the crease, Samson praised the young bowlers, saying "Arshdeep has been doing a great job, and the way Prince Yadav has bowled in the last few games has been very impressive", but he admitted the absence of Jasprit Bumrah was felt.
With the series dead‑locked, the stakes culminate in a winner‑takes‑all finale in Bengaluru on Saturday, where both teams will aim to break the deadlock.
