Delhi: The problems of the West Indies team have increased during the third ODI match being played against India at the PCA International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. Caribbean team's wicketkeeper-batsman Jewel Andrew, who was chasing the huge target of 352 runs, has reached the hospital due to a finger injury.

Injured while catching, sent to hospital for X-ray

This incident happened on the last ball of the 36th over of the Indian innings. Indian all-rounder Naman Dheer played a shot towards cover on the ball of West Indies left-arm spinner Gudakesh Moti. Jewel Andrew, posted there, took a brilliant catch and ended Naman Dhir's innings of 30 runs in 21 balls and also broke their 65-run partnership.

However, while taking the catch, the ball hit Andrew's finger at high speed. After this he appeared to be in pain and had to immediately leave the field. Cricket West Indies issued a medical update saying that Andrew has been taken to the hospital for X-ray and further investigation.

Shai Hope took the responsibility of opening

Jewel Andrew was to open the West Indies innings with John Campbell, but due to injury he could not come on the field to bat. In his absence, captain Shai Hope opened the innings with John Campbell. Shai Hope has become the third opening partner of John Campbell in this series.

Vitale Lowes also injured, West Indies' worries increased

The troubles of the West Indies team did not end here. Apart from Andrew, spinner Vitale Lowes also got injured during the match. Lowes was seen limping off the field due to a left calf problem.

West Indies' worries have increased further due to the injury to Lawes, who conceded 54 runs in 5 overs while bowling. Now the question before the team management is whether he will be able to come on the field to bat further or not. The injury to two important players is a big blow for West Indies, which is chasing the big target of 352 runs.
