Latest News about Shreevats Goswami
14/10/2026
Goswami publicly criticised West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph for repeatedly bowling short deliveries at Arshdeep Singh in the final over of the fourth T20I in Hyderabad. He said the tactic was not in the spirit of the game, as India needed 35 runs from the last over and Arshdeep was struck on the arm. The West Indies still won the match by 24 runs, levelling the five-match series 2-2.
