Ravi Thakur - Sunday, Aug 31, 2025Cricket is also a very interesting game. Sometimes bowlers give away 40 runs in a single over, and sometimes batsmen come into the limelight by playing strange shots. In the Caribbean Premier League, Shai Hope played such a shot that his stumps were blown away not by the ball but by the bat itself. Actually, last Saturday there was a match between Trinbago Knight Riders and Guyana Amazon Warriors, in which Shai Hope, playing for the Warriors, got hit-wicket after scoring 39 runs, the video of his dismissal is becoming very viral.
This incident happened in the 15th over of Guyana Amazon Warriors' innings. In the 15th over, Terence Hinds came to bowl, but he bowled the first ball wide. In front of him, Shai Hope was already preparing to play reverse sweep. The ball was wide and was out of Hope's reach, despite this he played a reverse sweep shot. While playing this strange shot, his bat hit the stumps and he was hit-wicket out after scoring 39 runs.
In this match, Guyana Amazon Warriors batted first and scored 163 runs on the scoreboard. When the Trinbago Knight Riders team came to bat, they won the match by 6 wickets with 16 balls remaining. Alex Hales and Colin Munro had almost ensured their team's victory by giving a quick start to the Knight Riders. Together, they took the team's score past 100 in just 10 overs. Hales scored 74 runs and Munro scored 52 runs.
In this match, Knight Riders captain Nicholas Pooran became a victim of a golden duck. On the other hand, the only bowler to take a wicket for Warriors was captain Imran Tahir. Tahir dismissed all the four batsmen of Riders.
