00:00You know, T20 Cricket was a tradition where Maroon Jersey literally meant total fear and dominance.
00:06But in 2024 World Cup, this story got completely changed for West Indies and I'll tell you the reason why.
00:12In 2024, West Indies played a total of 43 T20 international matches,
00:17out of which they were able to win only 14 matches and their win rate stayed around 32%.
00:23Now, if you look at any good side in the T20 international cricket,
00:26the win rate stays around 60-70%.
00:29With such kind of statistics, West Indies was already clear that their downfall has already started.
00:35At the same time, they got defeated by giants like Australia, England, South Africa, Afghanistan
00:42and even Nepal in one of the T20 games in 2025.
00:46And that was not it.
00:48In June 2025, their former captain and one of the most explosive batsmen of the T20 cricket,
00:54Nicholas Kuran announced his international retirement.
00:58Post this, everybody just thought that the glorious time period of West Indies is over.
01:03But no!
01:05In 2026, West Indies returned in style.
01:08The storm returned.
01:09Where they smashed Zimbabwe by 107 runs, 19 sixes and they scored the second highest total in the T20 World
01:18Cup history.
01:18You know, that wasn't just survival.
01:21That wasn't just defense.
01:22That was this bold statement where they clearly mentioned, you know, that we don't fade quietly.
01:28We build a lot of resilience.
01:30And when we come back, we come back with a lot of explosiveness.
