After the India vs West Indies 2nd T20I match, former England captain Kevin Pietersen made a huge claim on his social media platform 'X'. According to the post, there could be multiple interests for the West Indies captain during the IPL players' auction.
“If Shai Hope puts his name into the IPL mini-auction, there might be some paddles in the air from a few tables,” Pietersen wrote on X.

The 32-year-old top-order batter has played five matches, three ODIs and three T20Is, so far in India in his series. In five matches, Shai Hope has registered three centuries and one half-century.
Shai Hope played for Delhi Capitals before
Despite proving himself as one of the most destructive batters in the limited-overs formats, Hope's experience in the Indian Premier League is very limited. He has so far featured in only one IPL season.
West Indies surpassed India's 249-run total
Talking about the India vs West Indies 2nd T20I match in Ranchi, which was played on October 9, India scored 249 runs with Sanju Samson's 82 runs from 41 balls. Hope was a bit slow at the start of the run chase but accelerated soon after receiving proper support from the opposite end of the crease.
Sherfane Rutherford 84 off 37 and Romariao Shepherd's unbeaten 34 off 13 were a crucial part of the run chase. Rutherford and Shepherd got the licence to take the aerial route, as Hope was there as a well-set batter. He remained unbeaten for 102 runs.
