'His dismissal had a huge impact' - Abhinav Mukund’s huge remark on Shai Hope after IND vs WI 2026 3rd T20I

India secured a decisive 14-run victory over West Indies in the third T20I at Indore’s Holkar Cricket Stadium, extending their series lead to 2-1 with two matches remaining. The match ended with West Indies chasing down India’s 223-run target, collapsing to 209 for 7 in 20 overs.

Arshdeep Singh’s early breakthrough proved pivotal, dismissing West Indies captain Shai Hope for just 5 runs off 5 balls in the second over—a first for the left-arm pacer in T20I history. Hope’s dismissal, a result of a sharp delivery from Arshdeep at 136 km/h, shattered West Indies’ momentum and set the tone for India’s bowling dominance.

Singh’s match haul of three wickets for 44 runs earned him Player of the Match honors, while India’s tactical approach—particularly the disciplined bowling from young pacers like Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav—highlighted their depth in fast-bowling talent.
