Hope sets multiple records with 50-ball century against India
Shai Hope set multiple records including most runs and most sixes in a T20I series against India.
Shai Hope set multiple records with his unbeaten 102 off 50 balls against India in the fourth T20I in Hyderabad. He became the first captain to score three fifty-plus scores in an away T20I series and the first West Indies batter to score three T20I centuries. Hope also became the first captain in the world to score multiple T20I centuries against India.
Hope is the fourth captain to score three centuries in T20Is after Babar Azam, Rohit Sharma and Adil Butt. With nine sixes in the innings, he became the first batter to hit 20 sixes in a T20I series against India, surpassing Harry Brook's previous best of 15. Hope also holds the record for the most runs in a T20I series against India with 261.
Hope scored his century off 45 balls in the second T20I in Ranchi, equaling Jacob Bethell's record for the fastest T20I century against India. He has scored four centuries across formats during the India tour.
CricHubb Take
Hope's consistency across formats during the India tour has made him West Indies' standout performer. His ability to score centuries in both ODIs and T20Is against the same opposition places him among the elite batters of his generation.
