Hope's century came after he survived two chances earlier in the innings, with Kuldeep Yadav and Virat Kohli both unable to complete catches. He eventually made India pay for the missed opportunities before Kuldeep dismissed him for 104 off 94 balls.
The century also took Hope past Brian Lara's tally of 19 ODI hundreds for West Indies. Only Chris Gayle, with 25 centuries, now has more ODI hundreds for the Caribbean side.
25: Chris Gayle, 291 innings
19: Brian Lara, 285 innings
11: Gordon Greenidge, 127 innings
Shai Hope's latest hundred also created a new record among wicketkeeper-captains in ODI cricket. He now has seven centuries as an ODI wicketkeeper-captain, moving past former India captain MS Dhoni.

Before the match, Hope spoke to Ravi Shastri at the toss about West Indies' decision to bat first. He acknowledged that the toss offered both teams an equal opportunity and said his side's focus was on putting enough runs on the board for the bowlers to defend. He said:
Hope also reflected on West Indies' batting in the first ODI, where they made 295/7 after being well placed for a higher total. He felt the team needed to identify its mistakes quickly because of the short turnaround between the two games.
He added that the surface in Guwahati looked good but could offer some assistance early in the innings.
