After more than a decade, an opening pair secured a hundred-plus-run partnership against India in an ODI match. West Indies put up a fighting total of 295 in the batting first, but Shai Hope said that they had the opportunity to add more runs in their innings.
Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill's centuries led India to a comfortable win. While Gill departed after scoring 110 runs off 108 balls, Virat Kohli remained unbeaten with 139 runs from 88 balls with ten 4s and nine 6s. To seal the win, Virat hit two back-to-back maximums off Keacy Carty.
We could definitely put more runs: West Indies captain Shai Hope on middle order collapse
"Yeah, for sure. We could definitely put more runs on the board. You know, when you come in on surfaces such as good surfaces here in India, you've got to make sure you put a good score on the board. Maybe 60 to 80 runs short, to be fair."
Shai Hope blames his middle-order batters
Hope mentioned that the middle-order batters did not perform according to the team's expectations. Praising both of the openers, Shai Hope stated that they got a really good start at the beginning of the innings, but ended well short of the expected total as the rest of the batters on the team, especially the middle-order batters, failed to meet the expectations.
"They laid a very good foundation, but then we got stuck there in the middle,e and then it made it a lot more difficult for us in the back end to get a competitive total," Shai Hope added in the post-match presentation ceremony.
