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

Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, FOUR, India win and it's that man Sanju Samson who has taken them home. Sinks on his knees, looks heavenwards. Then crosses himself. Folds his hands as he thanks the superpower above. As soon it cleared mid-on, who went with an outstretched right hand over his head as he leapt, Samson went on his knees, flings the helmet away to his left. Then the celebrations begin. Full and on leg-stump, Samson gets forward and lofts, the bat turns in the hand, enough elevation to clear mid-on who was not at the edge of the ring. Had he been right back, might have been a chance. India reach the semis

Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, SIX, scores level. Again Tilak is pumped in the dugout. Full and following Sanju Samson outside the leg-stump, he stays deep and flicks, has the elevation to clear deep mid-wicket. Pandya with a double fist-pump and Tilak hugs him. That soared off the bat

Romario Shepherd to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, full and wide outside off, not the yorker length, Hardik Pandya reaches for it, swings and the loft flies wide of deep extra-cover, to his right. Hardik stayed deep in his crease. The bat turned and still he got it away. Shows the power of the man. After he hit that, turned his body around 360 degrees

Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, 1 run, yorker length outside off, Sanju Samson opens the face of the bat and carves it one bounce to deep backward point

Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, wide, just wide of the tramline on the off-side, full, left alone and it's another wide

Romario Shepherd to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, good yorker on middle, Hardik Pandya gets forward to flick across the line, off the thick leading-edge as it nearly sneaked through, rolls to deep backward point

Romario Shepherd to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, full outside off, Hardik Pandya gets forward to drive straight to the fielder at sweeper cover

Romario Shepherd to Hardik Pandya, no run, dropped by Holder at extra-cover. Simple catch too. A slower-ball off-cutter outside off, Hardik Pandya gets forward and slices the cut, Holder went to his left with two hands, hit the wrist and then on to the chest and then down. Holder tried to take it on the rebound but it slipped down. West Indies needed that to stick. Holder is not happy, while Romario Shepherd just turns around to go back to his mark. Was at a good catching height too

Romario Shepherd to Hardik Pandya, wide, way outside off, full and past the tramline, left alone and wide taken

Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, no run, good delivery and Romario Shepherd and Shai Hope wonder about a review for a caught behind. It's a short of length delivery just outside off, that holds its line, Sanju Samson's bat comes at an angle, towards mid-wicket and he misses. A flat line on UltraEdge

Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, FOUR, sloppy from long-on. He lets it go and gives three more. The crowd love it. Motie the fielder at long-on. He got there and allowed the ball to slip through his hands and legs. Maybe it is greasy out there with the dew. Full on off, Sanju Samson gets forward and drives that, was one at best

Romario Shepherd to Sanju Samson, SIX, floaty slower-ball and the leg-cutter flies for six. It's outside off and Sanju Samson gets forward and times the loft, really hit that well and it flies way back into the crowd at long-off
