On that note, it is time to wrap up our coverage for the 2nd T20I. This is Darpan Tikiya signing off on the behalf of AkshayaKrishna Polya, Abhishek Sharma, Ajay Pal Singh, Paras Yadav and Aman. See you soon!
The picture is not likely to change in the 3rd T20I either. It will be played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday, October 11. That is another venue famous for being a bowler's graveyard. So, in case you're planning to attend that game, carry a helmet. If not, don't worry, you can always follow the action on the CREX app.
On this West Indies' tour to India, two things have been on a constant rise. The first is Shai Hope's stature as a batter. Tonight, with his responsible yet flamboyant century (and Rutherford's brutal assault), he has shepherd his team to their first T20I win over India in India since 2019. The second is the aggregate economy rate per match, or simply put, the overall jeopardy for the bowlers.

Shai Hope (West Indies captain & POTM): "[Thought process after getting reduced to 5/2] That it was going to be a tough chase. But when you’re chasing here, you always give yourself a chance. You always stay in the game, regardless of the score on the board. That said, five for two was always going to be challenging.
[At what time did you gain confidence during the chase] When Rovman and I put that partnership together, we gave the innings some impetus. Then Sherfane came in and did what he did. He batted really well and gave us the spark we needed to get over the line today.
[On his mindset while batting tonight] Yes. I genuinely believe that, in cricket, we need to bat much better in partnerships. It’s something we tend to lack from time to time. But sometimes, as you said, you just have to sit back and watch your partner play some wonderful shots. In that situation, as long as we kept scoring at the required rate and stayed in touch with the game, there was no need for me to take unnecessary risks. I thought we were going really well, so it was about calculating the chase as best as possible towards the end.
[Regarding Roston Chase performance] Amazing. On a surface and in conditions like these, to go at six runs an over is unbelievable. He really kept us in the game. I know these are difficult conditions for bowlers, so the way he bowled and kept us in the game made it much easier for us to chase that total.
[Backing his six-hitting ability] I must say, those SS bats I have are pretty good! But, yes, the ball seemed to travel quite a bit here. The boundaries are a little bigger, but I just have to back myself. Once the ball is in my zone, I look for the best option to find the boundary. It worked out well today. As I said before, you need a bit of luck to go your way, and today was one of those days for me.
[About his great form of run during India tour] It’s a tough one. When you’re scoring runs, you’re just happy. Maybe I could say I’m enjoying a good run of form right now, but I think the way I’m preparing and trying to stay mentally fresh and ready is giving me the best chance to perform. I just hope it continues for as long as possible.
[Getting into the zone of feeling invincible with this current form] No, definitely not. I never try to get too carried away. I always try to keep myself as neutral as possible."
