Shai Hope takes blame after West Indies crash out of T20 World Cup 2026

Taking responsibility for the West Indies' elimination from the T20 World Cup, skipper Shai Hope said he should have batted faster at the top to post a more challenging target for India in their must-win Super Eight game here. Defending champions India chased down a fairly stiff 196-run target to knock the former winners out of the tournament at the Eden Gardens here on Sunday. The visitors appeared at least 20 runs short as Hope ate up 33 balls for his 32, striking at just over 96, including 17 dot balls that probably cost them heavily in a high-scoring contest. "Yes, I'll take the blame. I should have batted a lot faster -- if that's what you want me to say," said Hope in the post-match media interaction without dodging any tough question, here on Sunday. "When you're leading, you want to put your hand up and set the tone at the top. It didn't happen for me today. I just didn't get going today," he conceded. "But in situations like this, when you're struggling, everyone struggle

Shubman Gill: Bold decisions are key to unlocking the best in players

India Test captain Shubman Gill on Tuesday said he does not hesitate in taking "bold decisions" to extract the best out of his players as he gets used to the highly-scrutinised role. Gill's first Test assignment as leader was the marquee five-match away series against England which was ended in a 2-2 draw, before he led the side to a 2-0 clean sweep over the West Indies following a seven-wicket win in the second match here on Tuesday. "I try to make the most probable decision in the given situation that we're in that game. And sometimes you have to take a little bit of bold decisions and that X factor depending on which player can get you certain runs or can get you those wickets," he said. "I would say I am kind of getting used to it, managing all the players in this side," the 26-year-old Gill answered when asked about his evolution as a leader. "I enjoy responsibility. I like to be the guy out there and I do it my way. Being involved in some of the key decisions is something tha
