"The West Indies have batted well, and in the previous match, they bowled well too. But you have to find a way to get Shai Hope out. You have to find a way to stop the West Indies from scoring runs in the powerplay, and that's where the think tank comes together, plans, makes strategies, and puts all that together; then you can get the result you desire," Nayar told JioStar.

Hope has 539 runs in seven white-ball innings with four centuries. His 261 runs in four T20Is are already the most by any visiting batter in a bilateral series in India, which reflects how dominant he has been throughout the tour. "After a long time, such a player has come to India, scoring runs, captaining, wicket-keeping as well, and consistently scoring runs with the bat. When he scores runs, the team wins, and that is the hallmark of a terrific and great player who scores runs and makes sure the team wins. He is using his craft and finesse as well as power, and that is one thing that Shai Hope has done brilliantly," Nayar hailed Hope.

He also suggested that India should try to vary their line and lengths against Hope, who has found stump-line balls home for him. "When you are bowling at the stumps, it's been very easy for him to score runs, which means sometimes inconsistency is the best consistency to have against Shai Hope.
