Amir Jangoo dismissed after mix-up with Shai Hope in 3rd ODI

The West Indies batter missed one of the basics of the game called cricket and paid for it instantly. A fiery throw from <a href="https://cricket.international/david-warner-names-best-test-odi-and-t20i-batters-leaves-out-virat-kohli-and-rohit-sharma/" title="David Warner names best Test, ODI and T20I batters, leaves out Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma”>Virat Kohli caught the well-set West Indies national cricket team batter, Amir Jangoo, on the crease and dismissed him by run out.

Jangoo had to depart after a well-made 67 runs from 56 balls with five 4s and one 6. On the fourth ball of the 21st over in the second innings, when the West Indies cricket team was chasing a target of 352 runs at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh, Virat Kohli showed his spark of brilliance on the field to run out Amir Jangoo.

A direct throw from Virat Kohli ran out Amir Jangoo in IND vs WI 3rd ODI

The partnership of Jangoo and the West Indies skipper Shai Hope was looking solid in the middle as they were piling up runs at a good pace. In cricket, it is said that it is good to make no hurry on a misfield. Hope and Jangoo made that mistake.

Virat Kohli failed to collect the ball on his first attempt, which put both of the batters in a dilemma: whether to stay safe at their respective ends or to risk a single. Amir Jangoo and Shai Hope opted to take a risk, and it proved costly for them. A huge moment in the match, as a well-set batter departed from the ground.

West Indies in deep trouble after losing Amir Jangoo

It was the second wicket for the visitors in the match, and that was very crucial for them. The field umpire signaled for a third umpire, and the giant screen showed that Amir Jangoo was well short of his crease when the bails were up in the air after being hit by the direct throw. Naman Dhir, the bowler of that over, was right behind the stumps to cover the throw, but he did not need to do much as Virat Kohli hit the bull’s-eye.

Earlier in the innings, Jangoo narrowly escaped being bowled out. A delivery from the Indian seamer <a href="https://cricket.international/mohammed-siraj-and-amir-jangoo-engage-in-heated-exchange-in-3rd-odi/" title="Mohammed Siraj and Amir Jangoo engage in heated exchange in 3rd ODI”>Mohammed Siraj nipped in to take an inside edge from the bat. Jango went for a cover drive but did not do enough to make a proper connection. The ball missed the stumps, and Amir Jangoo got an extra lifeline.

West Indies needs to show their best to make the scoreline 2-1

With the extra lifeline, the Caribbean batter went on to complete a half-century to keep his team relevant in the run chase. West Indies will have to climb a mountain to outplay India to avoid a whitewash. The Indian cricket team is already leading the three-match series by 2-0, with the possibility of a clean sweep by winning today’s match as well.

As it is a prestigious fight for the touring team, they are trying their best to chase down the target successfully. To win the match, the Shai Hope-led team will have to score 352 runs in 50 overs.
