He achieved the feat against West Indies in the final ODI of the three-match series here at the Barabati Stadium.

The 31-year-old now has 1,377 runs in the 50-over format after playing a knock of 85 runs in the series decider against the Caribbean while Hope has 1,345 runs to his name this year.
Opener Rohit Sharma currently is the leading run-scorer of 2019 with 1,490 runs to his name.
