Shai Hope, the West Indies captain, led his team to a five-wicket victory over India in the third ODI at the PCA International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on October 3. The team successfully chased down a total of 352 in 48.2 overs.. Hope led the victorious chase, remaining undefeated on 162 off 143 deliveries, despite having to commence the innings after Jewel Andrew injured his finger while fielding. The West Indies’ victory was a consolation, as India had already won the first two games of the three-match series.

Shai Hope has long recognised that his leadership and batting styles were influenced by the former India captain, MS Dhoni. The West Indies captain employed a mentality that prioritised process over outcome during the challenging pursuit against India, relying on this comprehension.

Shai Hope’s innings served as an illustration of the practical application of this theory.

He achieved his 21st ODI century on 104 deliveries and his half-century on 46 balls. He then abruptly altered his pace, accelerating the chase in the final stages by scoring 62 runs off his final 39 balls.

Sammy’s assessment of Shai Hope leadership

Daren Sammy, the former captain of the West Indies, commended Shai Hope’s leadership style and his ability to lead from the front during the chase. Sammy observed that Hope’s approach, while distinct from his own, is nevertheless highly effective in increasing team productivity.
