West Indies skipper Shai Hope achieves a rare ODI feat that only one Indian player has ever managed, entering an elite global club with his latest century
Hope becomes the first-ever West Indian to score an ODI century against all Test-playing nations, joining legends like Ponting, Tendulkar and Amla
His century vs New Zealand is his 19th ODI ton, making him the fifth-fastest in history to reach the milestone, faster than Kohli, Warner & Lara

Hope crosses 6000 ODI runs in just 142 innings, going past superstars like Ganguly and AB de Villiers, and matching Quinton de Kock on the list
With 6, 000+ runs and 19 centuries, Hope now sits behind only Sangakkara and de Kock among wicketkeeper-batters, strengthening his case as a modern ODI great
