India's spin trio of Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi spun a web as the tourists hammered a clueless West Indies by 88 runs in the fifth T20I to win the five-match T20I series 4-1 on Sunday.

Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi ruled the roost with the ball and the West Indian batters had no response to their clever variations. Barring Shimron Hetmyer's fighting knock, it was a meek surrender from the other batters.

Stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya (28 off 16 balls) played a nice little cameo to beef up the score in the end with 18 runs coming off the penultimate over bowled by Jason Holder. Due to lightning in the vicinity of the stadium, the match was halted for 15 minutes after 14.3 overs, when India was nicely placed at 135 for three.

Iyer performed admirably in an unfamiliar position as an opener but also won his little 'battle within battle' with Deepak Hooda (38 off 25 balls), who was equally impressive during his stay at the crease.
