After a historic run chase in Ranchi, India and West Indies will again lock horns in the third T20I on Sunday, October 11, at Holkar Stadium, Indore. Shai Hope’s blazing hundred stunned the Men in Blue for the second time on the tour during the second match as his sensational knock of 102* (45) helped his team complete the second-highest successful run chase in T20Is of 250.
He got the support from Sherfane Rutherford (84 off 37) as the duo took down hapless Indian bowlers without much trouble to script history. On the other hand, India would be pleased after seeing some runs from Sanju Samson’s bat (82 off 41).
However, their inability to run through the West Indies batting line-up after a solid start in the powerplay by Mayank Yadav (3/36) once again opened Pandora’s box of their bowling shortcomings. The Men in Blue have a lot of questions to answer as they head into the upcoming fixture against a resurgent West Indies side.

Abhishek Sharma (IND):
The southpaw hasn’t been able to leave his mark on the series so far, registering scores of 21 and 20 in the two matches. With India eager to bounce back after a crushing defeat in Ranchi, all eyes will be on Abhishek to take on West Indies in the powerplay.
Roston Chase (WI):
The off-spinner bowled a brilliant spell in the second T20I, registering figures of 3/24 in four overs. Chase got the big scalps of Abhishek, Ishan Kishan and Shivam Dube as he choked the run flow in the middle overs.
