Hope then produced the performance needed to finish the job, scoring an unbeaten 162 off 143 balls as West Indies chased down India's 351/7 with 10 balls remaining. The visitors reached 352/5 in 48.2 overs to win by five wickets and end the series 1-2.
The West Indies captain revealed that his conversation with MS Dhoni helped him approach the chase with patience.
"Just look at the process, try to break the game down as best as I can and find ways to get the boundaries in the back end. I even thought about the overs that the Indian team were behind. So I knew they would have to bring a couple fielders in, in the back end. So it's always tough when you're trying to defend a score and you got to have five men in the ring. So all those things I calculated when I was batting. Just so happened that everything worked out for us in the back end.”
Chasing in India is easier - Shai Hope
"Yeah, it's something in India, it's always a lot easier, especially when dew comes out. But yeah, we wanted to finish the series on a strong note, so I'm just happy the guys got over the line today," Shai Hope said.

Shai Hope managed to complete the chase despite the discomfort and will now have a short window to recover before West Indies' next assignment. He also reflected on the ODI series, admitting that while the batting had been encouraging, the bowling remained an area for improvement.
"You got to bring your skills out and very, very, very small margins for error. So from a bowling standpoint, we learned a lot. I'm sure the guys are going to take this and hopefully we can get a lot better in the bowling side of things going forward. [On recovering in time for the upcoming shorter format] So hopefully, I got two days to turn things around, so hopefully I'm match ready.”
