Shimron Hetmyer's 139 in the Chennai ODI against India is the fifth highest for the West Indies in run chases.

 

139

The runs scored by Shimron Hetmyer in the Chennai One-Day International is now the joint third-highest score by a batsman in a successful run chase against India in ODIs. Incidentally, it is the fifth highest for the West Indies in run chases.

 

 

151

The number of balls taken by West Indian Shai Hope during his unbeaten match-winning 102 in Chennai is now one of the slowest centuries made in recent times in ODI cricket. Since 2000, his effort is the third slowest, but the slowest by a batsman from a major cricketing side. Further, his century is now the fourth slowest by any batsman against India.

The number of sixes hit by Rohit Sharma in all international matches on Indian soil. During the Visakhapatnam ODI, he went past the tally of M. S. Dhoni, who had 186 international sixes in India. Now, only three other batsmen have hit more sixes than Sharma in a particular country – Brendon McCullum (230) and Martin Guptill (207) in New Zealand and Chris Gayle (212) in the Caribbean.

The number of 150-plus scores by Rohit Sharma in ODI cricket is by far the most by any batsman in this format. The next best is six scores by Aussie David Warner.
