India's ongoing T20I bilateral series against West Indies has turned into a high-scoring run-fest, with bowling lineups repeatedly struggling to defend totals over 200. This difficulty in containing aggressive batters has brought the absence of fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah back into sharp focus.

Although India registered an easy eight-wicket triumph in the series opener while chasing 172, the second T20I in Ranchi saw West Indies chase down a 250-run target in 18.3 overs, finishing at 252/4.
