This marked Hope's 19th overall ODI century, as he became the fifth fastest to achieve the feat in terms of innings. Previously, Babar Azam (102), Hashim Amla (104), Virat Kohli (124) and David Warner (139) were all on the list.
Brian Lara left behind as Shai Hope completes century against New Zealand
He surpassed Brian Lara for having scored the most hundreds by a West Indies captain. Lara, despite being one of the greatest batters of all time, played 125 ODIs for the Windies as their captain and could manage just 5 centuries throughout this phase.
Ricky Ponting leads the list of most hundreds, with 22 to his name, while Virat Kohli follows him on the list with 21 hundreds in 230 and 95 ODIs, respectively.
Shai Hope is next to Vivian Richards on this list
Shai Hope went past the 6000-run milestone in the longer white-ball format and has reached the figure within 142 innings, which is just one more than the country legend Sir Vivian Richards.
Hope's hundred came off just 66 balls when he launched Kyle Jamieson for a towering six. The batter amassed a total of 109 runs off just 69 balls, with 13 fours and four sixes in his innings.
