There was a time a score of 249 was a strong score in ODIs. On Friday in Ranchi, India\u2019s<\/a> 249\/5 was mowed down with eight deliveries to spare in a T20I.<\/p>\n

Shai Hope continued his outstanding form, smashing an unbeaten 102 off 45 balls to steer his team. He was magnificently supported by Sherfane Rutherford (84 off 37 balls) and Romario Shepherd (34* off 13 balls) as the Indian bowlers had no answers. This is despite an excellent start where Mayank Yadav took two wickets in the first over.<\/p>\n

That the West Indies<\/a> chased the target so easily despite falling to 58\/3 in the sixth over is a remarkable effort. It also highlights the gap Jasprit Bumrah leaves in the Indian bowling lineup. Earlier in the year, England very nearly chased 254 in the T20 World Cup Semi-Final in Mumbai, only for Bumrah to produce magic with the game to be won at the death.<\/p>\n

Rutherford was dominant in his stand with Hope, and he made Mayank pay for a dropped catch when he was on 39. When Rutherford was dismissed, India continued with spin, and Hope and Rutherford obliged by cantering to the target.<\/p>\n

IND vs WI 2nd T20 Twitter Reactions: Shai Hope continues his incredible tour<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hope now has scores of 104, 162*, 52 and 102* in his last four innings on this tour. He has produced whether West Indies bat first or second, although he has been particularly effective when chasing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThing about cricket, I really believe that we need to bat a lot better in partnerships. It\u2019s something that we tend to lack every now and again,\u201d Hope said, as quoted by India Today<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe I could say it\u2019s a good streak I\u2019m having right now, but I just think the way I\u2019m preparing, the way I\u2019m trying to stay mentally fresh and ready, is giving me the best chance of performing. I just hope it continues along.\u201d<\/p>\n

For India, there are concerns regarding their defensive skills if their spinners don\u2019t have a good outing. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav conceded 116 runs in 7.3 overs between them in a game where Roston Chase produced an outstanding spell of 3\/24 in his four overs. Shreyas Iyer said the dew makes things very difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the dew factor comes in, it plays a massive role,\u201d Shreyas said. \u201cYou cannot give a number [on what a winning score is]. The margin of error on this wicket was very minor. Any minor error was going into the stands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are some of the reactions to a whirlwind game in Ranchi.<\/p>\n

Shai Hope is playing for West Indies by taking 25% paycut in his annual contract as his board is struggling financially. This is top top stuff!<\/p>\n

& on top of that, he has scored 2 100s & 2 50s in his last 4 games against India. <\/p>\n

I hope, he gets a good IPL contract as he also need\u2026<\/p>\n

As of this evening \u2013 Shai Hope\u2019s most recent knocks in all three formats in India is a hundred. There\u2019s clearly something inspiring in that dugout. This isn\u2019t the flashy West Indies of a few years ago. Sammy and Hope have clearly changed the culture, mindset and aspirations in\u2026<\/p>\n

Became a fan of Shai Hope a decade earlier watching his twin hundreds at Headingley but his career fell off weirdly post that<\/p>\n

Happy to see him ace all the formats in recent times after a start stop career<\/p>\n
