India vs West Indies, 52nd Match, Super 8 Group 1 (X1 v X3), ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Varun Chakaravarthy to Shai Hope, out Bowled!! Varun strikes in his first over and that's a good sign for India. Him being in form in so critical for India. Hope stays leg-side to access the off-side. This ball skidded off the pitch, came in with the angle, sneaked under the bat to hit the middle of middle stump. India open the account.

Arshdeep Singh to Shai Hope, 1 run, crunchy back foot drive to deep cover as Arshdeep Singh bowls short of length

Hardik Pandya to Shai Hope, FOUR, lovely cover drive! Deliberate attempt to stay leg-side of this length delivery to drive on the rise.

Hardik Pandya to Shai Hope, no run, smart of Hardik to dig this into the wicket on seeing Hope advance for a big hit. The batter swung in hope but the ball bounced over his blade
