Kris Srikkanth blasts Shai Hope for slow batting and avoiding responsibility
The former Indian captain slammed Hope’s batting and captaincy. He said Hope wasted balls and slowed the innings. He also accused him of shifting focus towards other players instead of taking full responsibility for his team’s failure to make it to the T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal.
Kris Srikkanth said in a video posted on his YouTube channel, "He just plays for himself every match. In the post-match interview, he was trying to blame Powell and Holder by saying they didn't score enough at the end. You were the one who finished the West Indies with your batting. Yet, he never blamed himself. Making you captain was the biggest mistake.”
Srikkanth signed off by saying, “Shai Hope playing in the 11 itself is a waste. He should be inside as a non-playing captain. He should only give directions. He was just wasting balls with the bat. Someone else could have done that. You could have even sent Romario Shepherd to open instead.”
