The West Indies opener, Shai Hope was looking well to play yet another big knock in the ongoing ODI series against India on Sunday. He had started the series with a brilliant 102 in the first ODI as he helped his side stun the fancied hosts by eight wickets. In the second game, he scored 78 but in a losing cause as India crushed the Caribbean outfit by 107 runs to level the series.

Hope started the ongoing third ODI in the same dominating manner. Asked to bat first, he and Evin Lewis gave West Indies a fine start by adding 57 runs for the first wicket. But soon after Lewis’ departure, Hope had to go back to the pavilion too courtesy of a fine delivery from the Indian fast bowler, Mohammed Shami. Shai Hope scored 42 off 50 balls.

With the spinners operating in tandem, Hope was having a decent run. And with Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja not managing to make any mark whatsoever, the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli changed the bowling by bringing in Shami. It was a stunning delivery from Shami as he brought the ball back inside the batsman.

Hope was shaping to shuffle across but left a gap between pad and bat. And it was enough for Mohammed Shami to castle him with a stunning inswinger.
