West Indies captain Shai Hope wrote his name into the record books on Wednesday, hammering a blistering, unbeaten 102 off 50 deliveries in the fourth T20I against India at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
The latest century from Hope comes amid a purple patch on the India tour. With the series still alive and Hope in red-hot form, the West Indies captain has given his side a fighting chance while rewriting the record books in the process. Hope’s masterclass, laced with four boundaries and nine towering sixes, propelled the visitors to a colossal total of 247/3 in their 20 overs, keeping the high-octane five-match series fiercely contested. Batter Centuries Best Score Remarkably, all three of Hope’s T20I hundreds have come at the identical score of 102 not out: 102* off 57 balls versus Australia in Basseterre (July 25, 2025), his maiden T20I ton that also made him only the second West Indian after Gayle to score centuries in all three international formats.
Hope has already registered centuries in the preceding ODIs and a half-century earlier in the T20Is, underlining his evolution from a reliable ODI accumulator into a genuine match-winner across formats.
