Shai Hope’s 162* leads West Indies to record chase over India
Shai Hope smashed an unbeaten 162 off 143 balls to guide West Indies to a five-wicket victory over India in the third ODI in New Chandigarh on Saturday, 3 October. The win prevented India from completing a series sweep, as the hosts had already secured the series with wins in the first two matches. West Indies chased down India's 351-7 with 10 balls to spare.
For India, KL Rahul scored a career-best 129* off 92 balls, while Rohit Sharma made 92 off 85 balls. Despite a strong start that saw India recover from 4-2, West Indies' chase was anchored by Hope, who found support from Amir Jangoo (67), Keemo Paul (44), and Gudakesh Motie (19*). The two teams now face a five-match T20I series starting 6 October in Lucknow.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage is uniform: all three reports lead with Shai Hope's unbeaten 162 and West Indies' record chase. Espncricinfo's headline frames the result as a Hope-versus-Rahul duel, while ICC and Arab News emphasise the series outcome. Espncricinfo also reports that India completed a record chase of 406 in the second ODI, providing context absent from the other sources. No outlet criticises India's performance, the coverage is straight match reporting. The concrete next step is the T20I series beginning 6 October in Lucknow.
