Vice-captain Tilak Varma stated that India need to hunt for wickets and show aggression rather than trying to contain a power-packed West Indies batting line-up.
India entered the fourth match holding a 2-1 lead in the five-match T20 International series.
Tilak explained that both he and Axar Patel mistakenly believed a shot towards deep backward square leg had reached the boundary for four, causing him to walk away from his crease before the ball was thrown back.
