Shreyas Iyer-led India will look to bounce back from their defeat in the fourth T20I, where they went down by 24 runs while chasing a mammoth target of 248. West Indies captain Shai Hope led the charge with a blistering century, scoring an unbeaten 102 runs off just 50 balls.
However, the defeat was not the only setback India suffered that day. Towards the end of the innings, Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh was struck on the shoulder by a delivery from Shamar Joseph.
Despite the pain, Singh attempted to continue batting but eventually had to retire hurt, bringing India's innings to a close at 223.
