West Indies created history by defeating England with the Gurumantra of MS Dhoni, Shai Hope said - this lesson of Mahi worked

On Caribbean soil, West Indies started the three-match ODI series against England with a win. In the first match of the series itself, West Indies pulled off a huge upset and registered a historic 4-wicket win. The hero of this match was West Indies captain Shai Hope, who played an unbeaten century. In this match, both teams were successful in crossing the 300 mark and a total of 651 runs were scored. After losing their dream of qualifying for the World Cup 2023, the West Indies team has made a great start in this series. This is the biggest win of West Indies in ODI history at home. Captain Shai Hope has also given the credit for this victory to former Indian team captain MS Dhoni, who gave some special tips to Shai Hope before the match.

The England team won the toss and decided to bat first. Thanks to Harry Brook's brilliant inning of 71 runs, the English team scored 325 runs in the stipulated 50 overs. After a very poor performance in the World Cup 2023, this was said to be a good start for England, but the hard work of the English batsmen was spoiled by the bowlers.

Windies captain Shai Hope played an unbeaten century of 109 runs with the help of 4 fours and 7 sixes in 83 balls while opening batsman Alek Athanaje played an inning of 66 runs. West Indies took a 1-0 lead in the series by winning the match with 7 balls and 4 wickets in hand. This is the biggest run chase of the Windies at home.

Shai Hope has crossed the mark of 5000 ODI runs with this century. He has equalled legends like Viv Richards and Virat Kohli in terms of the fastest 5000 ODI runs. Shai Hope has done this feat in his 114th ODI innings. Number one in this matter is Babar Azam, who achieved this feat in 97 innings.

Windies captain Shai Hope said that I am happy that the team won with my century. I spoke to MS Dhoni some time ago. He told me that you always have more time at the crease than you think. This statement of his stuck in my mind. We have started the series with a win. Will try to repeat it in the next match.
