In July, West Indies batter Shai Hope became the tenth batter to score a century in his 100th ODI. The West Indies opener achieved this accomplishment during the second ODI against India at Queens’ Park Oval at Port of Spain.
He is also the fourth West Indies batter to do so.
A six on the fourth delivery of 45th over bowled by spinner Yuzvendra Chahal took Hope to this memorable century.
He scored 115 runs off 135 balls before he was dismissed by Shardul Thakur after he was caught by Axar Patel at long-off. He has joined the company of players like Gordon Greenidge, Chris Cairns, Mohammad Yousuf Kumar Sangakkara, Chris Gayle, Marcus Trescothick, Ramnaresh Sarwan, David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan, who have scored centuries in their 100th ODI.
West Indies posted 311/6 in their 50 overs after electing to bat first. A 65-run partnership was made between Shai Hope and Kyle Mayers (39). It was followed by a 62-run stand between Hope and Shamarh Brooks (35). After Brandon King was out, a 117-run stand happened between Hope and Captain Nicholas Pooran (74).
Shardul Thakur, the Indian pacer restricted run flow and took three wickets. Thakur finished as the best bowler for India with 3/54.
