'You always have more time than you think' - Shai Hope recalls MS Dhoni advice

West Indies secured a five-wicket consolation victory against India during their third ODI encounter after successfully overtaking a target of 352 runs with ten balls remaining. Forced to open the batting because of a teammate's injury, skipper Shai Hope constructed an unbeaten 162 runs off 143 deliveries.

During this crucial innings, the visiting captain relied on the mental approach imparted by former Indian leader MS Dhoni, focusing strictly on breaking down the phases rather than worrying about the outcome.

Coach Daren Sammy lauded the match-winning captaincy displayed by his batsman, emphasizing his silent leadership style and complete dedication to the squad. Although India had already locked down the series following victories in the opening two matches, this final contest showcased a remarkable batting acceleration in the closing overs to seal the triumph.
