Shai Hope Stats vs India: ODI Runs, Centuries and Record Ahead of 2nd ODI

Shai Hope Stats vs India: Shai Hope will enter the second ODI against India in Guwahati with a significant personal number against the hosts. The West Indies captain started the series with 988 ODI runs against India and added 12 in the opening match, taking his tally to 1,000 runs. His record also includes three centuries and five half-centuries, making him one of the key West Indies batters to watch on September 30.

The landmark, however, came during a disappointing start to the series for West Indies. Hope made only 12 from 11 balls before Kuldeep Yadav dismissed him in Thiruvananthapuram, where the visitors eventually finished on 295/7. India chased the target comfortably, reaching 300/2 in 41.4 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

That result has increased the importance of Hope’s contribution in Guwahati. West Indies now need a victory to keep the series alive, while India can secure the series before the third ODI.

Shai Hope Stats vs India in ODI Cricket

Hope entered the 2026 series with an impressive ODI record against India. He had scored 988 runs from 26 matches at an average of 47, including three hundreds and five fifties. His 12 runs in the first ODI have now taken him to the 1,000-run mark against India.

The numbers become even more interesting when Hope’s performances in India are considered. Before the current series, he had scored 741 ODI runs from 14 matches in India at an average of 74.1, including three centuries and three fifties. His previous success in these conditions means the West Indies captain will be expected to respond after failing to convert his start in the opening match.

Hope’s record also adds another layer to the wider India-West Indies rivalry. Readers looking for the complete numbers across formats can check the India vs West Indies Stats & Records page, while the India vs West Indies Head-to-Head page focuses specifically on their meetings and results.

Why Shai Hope Will Be Important in Guwahati

West Indies showed enough with the bat in the first ODI to suggest they can challenge India, but they were unable to turn a promising position into a match-winning total. Justin Greaves scored 101 and John Campbell contributed 62, but Kuldeep Yadav’s 4/40 prevented the visitors from pushing towards a substantially bigger score. Hope’s early dismissal during that phase left West Indies without one of their most experienced middle-order batters.

India then made 296 look considerably smaller than it initially appeared. Shubman Gill scored 110 from 108 balls, while Virat Kohli produced an unbeaten 139 from only 88 deliveries as India completed the chase with eight wickets and 50 balls remaining. Kohli also crossed 15,000 ODI runs during the innings, adding another major milestone to his career.

For West Indies, Guwahati therefore cannot simply be about reaching another competitive-looking total. Their captain indicated after the opening defeat that his side had left a significant number of runs on the field, and a stronger contribution from Hope could help address that problem. A long innings from him would also allow the power hitters around him to play with greater freedom later in the innings.

The venue could give Hope an opportunity to respond. Barsapara Cricket Stadium has previously produced high-scoring ODI cricket, including a memorable India-West Indies match in which the visitors scored 322/8 before India chased it down at 326/2.

Hope’s biggest challenge could again come against India’s spin attack. Kuldeep removed him in the first ODI and finished with four wickets, turning the match after West Indies had made a promising start. How Hope handles Kuldeep through the middle overs could become one of the more important individual battles of the second match.

The West Indies captain has enough experience against India to make that contest interesting. His three ODI hundreds against India show that he has previously been capable of converting starts into major innings, while his strong record in Indian conditions suggests the opening-match failure should not automatically be treated as an indication of what will happen in Guwahati.

1,000 Runs Add a New Angle Before the 2nd ODI

Reaching 1,000 ODI runs against India gives Hope a notable individual landmark heading into the second match, but West Indies need those historical numbers to translate into a current-series performance. His 12 in Thiruvananthapuram took him to the landmark without having a meaningful impact on the result, leaving Guwahati as an immediate opportunity to respond.

There is also extra responsibility because Hope is both captain and one of the most established ODI batters in the West Indies side. With the series at 0-1, another defeat would settle the contest before the teams travel to New Chandigarh. His innings could therefore influence not only his personal record against India but also whether West Indies remain alive in the series.

India, meanwhile, enter the match with confidence across both departments. Gill and Kohli are coming off centuries, while Kuldeep demonstrated India’s ability to take wickets even after the opposition has built a strong platform. The wider player options for both sides are covered separately in TeamStats’ India vs West Indies Players page.

Hope’s record suggests India will not take him lightly despite his quiet opening match. His ability to build an innings, rotate strike against spin and accelerate after settling has been central to his ODI batting, and those qualities could be particularly useful if Barsapara again provides good conditions for stroke play.

The history between these teams extends much further than the current series, and TeamStats’ India vs West Indies Timeline covers the major turning points across generations. For the second ODI, however, the immediate question is whether Hope can add a substantial innings to an already strong personal record against India.

The headline figure before Guwahati is now clear: 1,000 ODI runs against India, with three centuries and five fifties. Those numbers show what Hope has achieved in the past, but with West Indies trailing 1-0, his performance on September 30 carries considerably more importance than another statistical milestone.

India can seal the series with victory in Guwahati, while West Indies need their captain and senior batters to respond. Follow the latest developments through Cricket News Today and the wider coverage on TeamStats.in.
