What an unbelievable, record-breaking night of absolute carnage in Ranchi! The West Indies have pulled off their highest successful run chase in T20I history, hunting down a monumental 250-run target to defeat Team India by 6 wickets with 9 balls to spare at the JSCA International Stadium Complex, leveling the 5-match series 1-1!
In this video, Pdogg and Vignesh break down a staggering run-fest where a massive 501 runs were scored! We start with India’s monstrous first innings of 249/5 after the West Indies won the toss and opted to bowl. We deep-dive into the undeniable star of the first half: Sanju Samson! The explosive wicketkeeper-batter smashed a breathtaking 82 off just 41 deliveries (9 fours, 4 sixes) to set the foundation. He found perfect support from Ishan Kishan (43 off 22 balls) before the middle order unleashed absolute fireworks. Skipper Shreyas Iyer bludgeoned 40 off 18, and Tilak Varma finished with a sensational unbeaten 44 off 18 balls to take India to their highest-ever T20I score against the Windies. Despite the onslaught, we analyze Roston Chase’s brilliant, highly economical spell of 3/24 in his 4 overs to keep things somewhat grounded.
Then, we shift focus to the West Indies’ historic, box-office run chase! Chasing 250, the visitors suffered a nightmare start. We analyze the sheer express pace of Mayank Yadav (3/36), who struck twice in the very first over to remove Kamil Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer, quickly reducing the Windies to 9/2. However, the story of the night belonged to the jaw-dropping 120-run counter-attack by Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford! Hope played a knock for the ages, smashing an unbeaten 102 off just 45 deliveries, while Rutherford tore the Indian attack to shreds with a brutal 84 off 37 balls (7 fours, 7 sixes). With heavy dew severely impacting the Indian spinners—as Kuldeep Yadav (1/53) and Axar Patel (0/63) struggled to grip the ball—Romario Shepherd (34* off 13) applied the finishing touches to wrap up the chase in just 18.3 overs!
Let us know in the comments: Is this Shai Hope’s greatest T20I innings ever? And how concerning is the Indian bowling unit’s inability to defend 249 under heavy dew?

What? Kuldeep won't make the ODI WC. What a pathetic analysis by you guys. You guys want your fav Varun to get into the wc squad, that's why you're targeting Kuldeep. Keep your Tamilnadu favouritism aside. Same guys when Varun was getting bashed left right centre in T20 WC said on video he bowled well, he'll come back next game. Varun got smashed each game with figures reading none for 50+, 60+ in 4 overs in successive matches. Later after the tournament, you're saying Varun didn't bowl well. Who're you guys to question Kuldeep's place? Clearly BIASED. In these kind of road pitches fielding is extremely important, dropping sitters like mayank did won't help. I won't throw that as an excuse, I want Kuldeep to succeed even in tough conditions despite the tons of dew, dropped chances, but when you guys were able to take Varun getting smashed through out the tournament, you're waiting for Kuldeep to fail to pounce on him, that's double standards. There's no other wicket taker in middle overs other than Kuldeep. I would say this every time, he's the best attacking spinner in India, he has experience playing in biig matches doing well, champions Trophy finals recent example. Then, we'll come to Hope. He should be included in fab 4? For what? For West Indies not qualifying in consecutive WCs? How many series he has won for WI? Winning odd match here & there every batsman will do. He's a good player but he hasn't done anything to impact his country win series, tournaments. In your own words, people aren't interested to listen runner up side of things, that being the case Hope hasn't done anything to turn the fortunes of WI cricket when other batsman from other countries have successfully able to do so. Hope is best WI batsman that's it. I grew up watching 80s WI cricket. Reading that West Indies player names will shiver you. Such was the pedigree. So guys, I wish your manifestation of questioning Kuldeep's place in India WC squad fails.
pdogg we still miss prince yadav where he peformed will in England T20 series has economy of 7.54 a decent and 7.12 in Ipl with 16 wickets he must be in next t20 games. Please reply my comment
Why hope is not performing in ipl and also not getting more chances

NZ tour not MZ
I completely agree with both of you. Both Bhuvi n Shami should be brought back immediately since they have both skill and experience with temperament
Ignoring them due to age only is stupid
Age 35 and above is not applicable to batters
. It is double standard no doubt.Atleast they have brought Bhuvi for the upcoming MZ Tour. It is high time,Shami should also been brought back without further delay.
looking in retrospect, under gambir, India's bowling quality at the international level seems to have had a significant drop except the test format… Even in tests, it may look good sometimes because of bumrah and maybe siraj on his day, but other fast bowling options that have been brought forward for the test side have been heavily influenced by ipl. Players like aquib nabi should have gotten a chance to play in test when they are in red hot form, they just give delayed chances to these players and not getting the full fruit out of their talent… This is exactly how they just mismanaged and lost out on the best years of axar patel's batting when he was doing great. Now, our T20 lineup looks really band with loses against ireland and much closer escape from japan in japan… It seems like some real trouble is on the way if bumrah is unfit.
The reason for loss is poor bowling from Axar and Kuldeep.
How could Bhuvi or Shami have fixed that?
You say IPL and International cricket are two different kettles of fish, then why do you advocate for inclusion of Bhuvaneshwar Kumar based on his IPL performances? Isn't this duplicity at its zenith?
Aus 344-8.. Renshaw 100+ not out..SA might lose this match.. pdogg what went wrong for SA.. is the selection of 2 spinners was the reason ?
Am not concerned even if ind lose the t20 series.. india's main focus is in odi and test.. bse of odi wc and W.. so in NZ india first priority is test series..then odi series..if they won both odi and test series it will be a great thing..
pls give a short review and preview on aus v sa test
PDogg and KV, what is your view of Shivam Dubey? Is he a batsman or a bowler? The guy cannot bat in these FLAT TRACKS, but is being groomed for batting in fast and bouncy tracks in SA (ODI WC 2027) and Australia (T20 WC 2028). The less spoken about his bowling, the better. What aren't they giving opportunities for Rajat Patidar?
But Australia not like that because they keep using the experience of bowlers like starc, Cummins so that I think they won many world cup
Wcl sa vs wi match review podunga 👽 was there

It’s 9 balls spare

I Have One Doubt Pdogg Sir & Vignesh Anna,What is The Reason Bowlers Clocking 145+ Bowlers are always hit the Deck Bowlers ah vee Irrikanga(For Ex : mayank yadav,KG Rabada,Archer) why Bowlers like Bhuvi,omarzai,Deepak chahar,sandeep Sharma like bowlers why Can't Generate That much Speed.. What is The Reason behind of it..due to Bowling Actions (or) Runup (or) loading position..Please Answer My Question Experts.
Gill, Brooks, Hope 🔥
Hi Pdogg sir and Vicky,
Every team has quality wrist-spinners — Adam Zampa for Australia, Yuzvendra Chahal for India, Adil Rashid for England, and Imran Tahir for South Africa.
Why don’t these kinds of spinners get more opportunities in their national Test teams? Leg-spinners can generate plenty of turn and are excellent wicket-takers, so why aren’t they selected more often in Test cricket?
Please explain, Pdogg sir! 🏏
Kuldeep vitta bowler illa Loosu maari pesurathu thappu bro
Ore doubt than batting la experience pass panum nenaikuringa. But what about bowling. Bowling la experience pass panna venna. Siraj even after playing ton of match still look inexperienced. Because we havent pass their experience to them.
Aus vaayasa kattaiya vachitu youngsters ku chance and experience kodukamatran . Ivan youngsters aa eragi experience pass panna matran onum solurathuku illa paavam bowlers
Rasik Salam and Kunal Pandya not trying T20 cricket?
Hi pdoog sir hi Vicky bro….nothing to worry india going to fail coming 3 machs …….
#STUMPPDOGG – Hello Pdogg sir and Vicky bro, My question to you guys is about the struggles of ravi bishnoi even in rank spin tops which was provided in recent Asian games when any bowler who bowled spin for ex. with due respect to Abhishek Sharma who was able to extract good amount of spin where as Ravi bishnoi was struggling and was bowling flat without getting any turn or deviation off the wicket, is it because off his straight, high arm quick release with his wrist straightning, release velocity or does he has to work more on his release or elastic recoil because bowlers off same pedigree like rashid khan, Anil Kumble, Mushtaq Ahmed was hugely successful with same straight, upright arm release when the arm alignments, wrist positions and release fell in place. please do answer the question .. Thanks and wishing you a speedy recovery pdogg sir😊
Pdogg Rutherford weakness is outside off stump and he got out in tha same delivery
Indian bowlers are dam worst. WI chased a huge 352 in ODI & again chased a huge 249 in T20. Bowling department should be strengthened. Otherwise 2027 world cup is impossible .
Still bumrah shami Bhuvi and siraj is top 4 bowlers in india
Morne morkel should be removed
#StumpPdogg
Hi Pdogg sir. India A have lost two ODI against Australia A in Pondy. All Indians playing in the match are quality players in IPL. Is Indian team selecting wrong players for ODI or is the quality difference between International team and IPL.
