West Indies captain Shai Hope has credited talismanic MS Dhoni for his New Chandigarh masterclass, which scripted history for the visitors. Hope, who scored his 20th ODI hundred in the second One-Dayer in Guwahati, struck another in the third and final match, hitting a match-winning 162* in a record run chase. Hope stood as the visitors' main pillar after they lost their fifth wicket with over 60 runs required, and delivered for his team as West Indies completed their highest ODI run chase.&nbsp;Speaking about the impact he had on his game after chatting with the veteran Indian keeper-batter Dhoni, Hope said, “I had a great chat with the great man MS Dhoni; he was telling me you always have more time than you think. So just trying not to focus too much on the end result. Just look at the process, try to break the game down as best as I can and find ways to get the boundaries in the back end.”&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/shubman-gill-death-bowling-fielding-concerns-india-west-indies-odi-series-1791118279344">Shubman Gill flags 2 major concerns for India after Chandigarh ODI defeat to WI</a>&nbsp;Hope smashed 17 fours and three sixes in his marathon innings, helping West Indies salvage pride with a win in the final ODI. The right-hander anchored the chase from start to finish, as West Indies finally had a reason to smile after conceding the three-match ODI series.&nbsp;Detailing the calculation of the chase, Hope said, “I even thought about the overs that the Indian team were behind. So, I knew they would have to bring a couple of fielders in, in the back end. So, it's always tough when you're trying to defend a score, and you got to have five men in the ring. So, all those things I calculated when I was batting. Just so happened that everything worked out for us in the back end.”<h3>Dhoni, CSK and IPL</h3>Hope's tribute underlines how Dhoni’s legendary finishing wisdom continues to inspire international stars. Meanwhile, Dhoni remains a talking point for his IPL franchise and its fans, with plenty to ponder. With the mini-IPL auction set for mid-December later this year, all eyes will be on Dhoni’s auction strategies and his future as an active player.&nbsp;Dhoni, who led CSK to a record five IPL titles, didn’t play a single game this edition as he remained on the bench with a calf issue. CSK, however, hasn’t won an IPL trophy since 2023.

‘Dhoni told me you always…’: Shai Hope credits MS Dhoni for Chandigarh run chase masterclass

Indian ODI captain Shubman Gill wants to fine-tune a few areas despite beating the West Indies 2-1 in the recently concluded ODI series. While the batting prospered for the hosts, with India posting 300-plus totals in all games, including their highest successful run chase in the second One-Dayer, their death bowling and fielding—mainly dropped catches—hurt them most. As Indian bowlers also leaked runs, Gill, who remained at the helm, flagged concerns.&nbsp;"I feel sometimes we are not really clear whether we are attacking or we are defending, especially when we are bowling in the death overs," Gill said after India conceded the final ODI in New Chandigarh by five wickets. "One-Day is such a game; if the opposition is five or six down, you are never really sure what fields to take, whether we are going for the death too early or we are still, you know, bowling kind of like middle overs. I think these are some areas which we definitely need to be better at."&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/shubman-gill-no-room-to-experiment-india-2027-world-cup-playing-xi-1791111849647">‘No Room to Experiment’: Shubman Gill wants India’s best XI in ODIs</a>&nbsp;While the Indian bowlers leaked 305 runs in the series opener in Trivandrum, they conceded 405 in the second and failed to defend 351 in the final match on Saturday night.

Although his match-winning 223* in the second ODI helped India complete their highest successful run chase, and second-highest overall (behind South Africa's 438 against Australia in 2006), his failure in the final game at his home venue in New Chandigarh left him disappointed.&nbsp;"I mean, you're always disappointed whenever you get out early, but I think today I don't think there could have been much that I would have done on that ball," he said.&nbsp;Days after India entered the record books with a stunning run chase in Guwahati, the West Indies registered their highest successful chase in the final ODI, hunting 352 with five wickets remaining.
