West Indies level T20I series 2-2; Bhuvneshwar recalled for decider

West Indies beat India by 24 runs in Hyderabad on 14 October, with Shai Hope making an unbeaten 102 and Keemo Paul taking 5 for 41. The series is level at 2-2 before the decider in Bengaluru on 17 October, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been added to India's squad as cover for the injured Arshdeep Singh.

Why it matters: Sets up a series decider in Bengaluru on 17 October.

Based on 6 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.

Large outlets read: 0 of 15. Most of India’s largest outlets, including NDTV, India Today, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu and Indian Express, block our reader in this prototype, so their coverage is missing here. The launch pipeline reads their public feeds.

How we score

Ideology score, −10 to +10

Left-leaning (−10 to −3)
Secular-pluralist framing, minority protection, caste justice and voter access, civil liberties, an active state.
Centre (−2 to +2)
Several positions represented fairly, neutral language, reporting kept apart from opinion.
Right-leaning (+3 to +10)
Cultural nationalism, national strength and security, scepticism of group-based policy, voter-roll integrity, market-led growth.

Stance toward the government

Critical, Neutral or Supportive, scored separately. It refers to the Union government unless the story is about a state. On the spectrum strip, each dot is an article: its position is the ideology score and its colour is the stance.

The swap test

If an article would score differently with the parties' roles reversed, that signal is partisanship. It goes into the stance tag, not the ideology score.

Confidence

High, Medium or Low, based on how much of the article was read, how many clear signals it has, and whether they agree.

Limited coverage and blindspots

Stories with fewer than five articles are marked. A blindspot is a contested story where we found coverage from only one side.

Not ideological

Articles that touch none of the three dimensions, such as a car launch or a match report, carry no ideology score.
