Star batsman Shai Hope, who was appointed captain of the West Indies just a few days ago, continued his fine form and hit his fourth century in ODI cricket within a year. This is his biggest score against South Africa.

The West Indies cricket team went through major changes before the ODI series against South Africa. It was a change of captaincy. After leaving the captaincy of Nicholas Pooran, there was a change in the leadership of the team and Shai Hope got this responsibility. There was definitely a change in the team but not in Hope’s style as he hit a strong century in his very first match as captain. Windies Cricket Twitter
