Here are some reactions on India's defeat Straightaway pointing out the flaw in Iyer's Captaincy and calling out his captaincy as clueless and helpless, and believing the 4th, 7th and 9th over made the Caribbean believe they could win. So this one turns out to be the highest run chase in T20s against India. Shocking. Shreyas Iyer clueless and helpless as captain — Vikrant Gupta (@vikrantgupta73) October 9, 2026 Windies were 9-2 in the first over. Don’t know what they would have done from that situation but why get Axar to bowl the 4th over (16 runs) and get Shivam Dube to bowl the 7th (14 runs) and 9th (16 runs). That’s where West Indies believed They Can. And They Did — Vikrant Gupta (@vikrantgupta73) October 9, 2026 Some believed that if Bumrah had not been in the T20 World Cup semi-finals, Jacob Bethell would have won the match for England, and India would have suffered a similar defeat. If not for Bumrah then Jacob Bethell would've actually won England the 2026 T20WC Semi-final. — Aditya Saha (@Adityakrsaha) October 9, 2026 One even stated that dew cannot be blamed, and that it's been a long time since India has played night matches, and suggested the team start practicing with a wet ball. Dew cannot be an excuse anymore. If it’s an excuse for you, it will be an excuse for the West Indies too because they’ve lost games while de feign in dew. Can’t remember the last time India played a day game in a T20I, and for good 4-5 months of the year you play games in dew.... — Rahul Rawat (@rawatrahul9) October 9, 2026 One fan feels that it is now unfair for the bowlers to bowl on such a flat track that 400 in an ODI and 250 in a T20I are getting chased. He felt so angry and suggested using bowling machines instead of bowlers. BCCI has murdered white ball cricket, be it ODIs or T20Is. They don't create flat pitches but ultra flat pitches nowadays. I mean, 400 & 250 are getting chased in ODIs, T20Is respectively as if it is 250 & 150. Why to even play bowlers? Make it batter vs bowling machine as... — Rajiv (@Rajiv1841) October 9, 2026 One fan jokingly said that the transport minister should learn how to make roads like the BCCI and not get shocked if we witness a 500-run mark to be crossed in T20I. India’s Road Transport Minister should learn how to make roads from Ranchi’s curator. Just 30 overs into this IndvsWI match, and the teams have already smashed 360+ runs. Don’t be surprised if we end up witnessing a 500-run T20I match. 💀 — Vipin Tiwari (@Vipintiwari952) October 9, 2026 india vs west indies ind vs wi wi vs ind west indies vs india shreyas iyer india lost against west indies ind vs wi highlights
