West Indies captain Shai Hope delivered a breathtaking knock, reminiscent of MS Dhoni's finishing prowess, guiding his team to victory against England. Hope's remarkable hundred, highlighted by three sixes in the penultimate over, drew parallels to Dhoni's renowned ability to steer the team to triumph in crunch situations.
Reflecting on the victory and his Dhoni-inspired approach, Hope shared the advice he got from the former Indian captain a few years back. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Hope said Dhoni's advice, emphasizing that he 'always had a lot more time than he thought' had stuck with him ‘throughout the years.’
Hope recalled the guidance from Dhoni as he faced Sam Curran in the 49th over, smashing three sixes in four balls to secure a thrilling victory for the West Indies.
Hope's exceptional knock of an unbeaten 109 runs off 83 deliveries played a pivotal role in West Indies securing a 1-0 lead over England, chasing down a target of 326 runs. His remarkable innings was acknowledged as he earned the Player of the Match title.
