Summary

Shai Hope reaches 9,000 international runs milestone
Excels in ODIs with 5,879 runs at 50.24 average
Struggling to live up to potential in Test cricket

On October 13, 2025, West Indies batter Shai Hope reached a significant milestone in his international cricket career, completing 9,057 runs across all formats. The 29-year-old right-hander achieved this feat during the second Test against India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.

Hope's best format has undoubtedly been the ODIs, where he has amassed 5,879 runs at an impressive average of 50.24, including 18 centuries. He is the seventh-highest run-getter in ODIs for the West Indies. In the T20I format, Hope has also been making steady progress, scoring 1,210 runs at a strike rate of 137.65.

However, the talented batter has struggled to translate his limited-overs success into the Test arena. In 43 Test matches, he has scored 1,968 runs at an average of just 25.23, with only two centuries and six fifties. His last fifty-plus score in the longest format came over six years ago, in January 2019 against England.
