Injured Shai Hope stars as West Indies stun India in final ODI
Rahul smacks century in India v Windies ODI
Chandigarh witnessed a thrilling West Indies victory over India in the final one-day international on Saturday. Captain Shai Hope, who played through a groin and leg injury, led the Windies to a record-breaking five-wicket win, surpassing their previous highest successful chase of 331-5 against Ireland in May 2019. India managed to post a mammoth 351-7, thanks to KL Rahul's unbeaten 129 and Rohit Sharma's blistering 92.
Hope, who had to open after Jewel Andrew sustained a finger injury, batted brilliantly, scoring an innings of the highest quality and bringing up the century with 10 balls to spare. Despite initial struggles, Hope found his form in the final overs, demolishing the Indian attack with a ferocious onslaught. The chase was made easier by the dew in India, but Hope's determination and skill saw West Indies clinch the consolation victory in the three-match series.
