West Indies need to 'do more rights than wrongs' to compete in India, says captain Hope

West Indies skipper Shai Hope emphasized the need for better execution after his team suffered an eight-wicket defeat in the opening T20I against India. Despite a promising start that saw the visitors reach 82 for 3 by the midway point, the batting lineup faltered significantly against debutant spinner Naman Dhir, ultimately posting a total of 171.

Hope highlighted the importance of capitalizing on early momentum and learning from the tactical errors that led to the late-innings collapse. While the captain noted the team failed to meet necessary standards, he praised Sherfane Rutherford for his resilient 56-run performance.

Shreyas Iyer subsequently anchored the successful Indian chase to secure the win with 32 balls remaining.
