IPL contracts

Former India batter Manoj Tiwary has issued a light-hearted warning ahead of India's crucial T20 World Cup clash with West Indies, suggesting players could miss out on IPL contracts if they fail to win. The match, described as a virtual quarterfinal, will decide which team advances to the semifinals, with both sides tied on points. India enters the game on a high after a big win over Zimbabwe, while West Indies comes off a heavy defeat to South Africa.
