India didn’t need a massive and aggressive start to go for the chase of 196 runs to win the virtual quarter-final in the Super 8 fixture of the Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata against West Indies as they didn’t want to make the same mistake of the Super 8 clash against South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium earlier.
But after losing Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma, the two inform left-handed batters in the chase, there was a need for one of the batters to play a big shot at least once in every single over of the encounter. And Suryakumar Yadav lit up the stage with a fine Supla shot against Jason Holder.
On the fourth delivery of the chase, Holder went for a length delivery outside the off stump of the batter as Sky shuffled across and heaved it over the deep backward square-leg region for a massive six as the ball sailed over the boundary line. The key to the shot was to get inside the line and put it away for a 74-meter six.

Roston Chase smashed 40 runs in 25 balls, while the biggest contribution came from the unbeaten fifth-wicket stand.
