Cheteshwar Pujara said Sanju Samson’s early dismissal for three in the third T20I against the West Indies stemmed from misreading the pitch and accelerating too soon.

Pujara also praised Ishan Kishan’s role at No. 3, saying he maximised the Powerplay and provided quick runs.

India won the match by 14 runs to take a 2-1 series lead.
