India Vs Windies 2nd ODI: Statistical highlights

It was yet another run feat as close to 650 runs were scored in the second ODI between India and Windies at Vizag. Virat Kohli’s outrageous batting that resulted in his 37th ODI ton and Shai Hope’s breath-taking century in the chase highlighted the match that ended in a tie. But the game also had few more statistical highlights.

Virat Kohli today ran one short. And India tied the game #INDvWI.
I remember the #IndvEng World Cup 2011 game at Bangalore when Munaf Patel ran one short and the game was tied.

The right-hand batsman loves batting at Vizag. In all five innings here, he has scored fifties and also completed 4000 ODI runs on Indian soil.

India’s second tie game in one month

After the tie against Afghanistan in Asia Cup, this is India’s second tie in ODI cricket in the span of one month. Incidentally, this is the first tie game between India and Windies since 1991.

Also this is the third tied ODI to be played on Indian soil, Dhoni now has featured in six tie matches, the joint-most by any player while Kohli’s knock of 157* is the second-highest score in a tie game after Andrew Strauss’ 158* against India in 2011.

Players involved in most tied ODIs:

6 – MS Dhoni*
6 – Aamer Sohail
6 – Inzamam-ul-Haq

Interestingly all of Shai Hope’s ODI centuries have ended in ties. His first century came in the match against Zimbabwe in 2016 and he scored his second century in the 2nd ODI versus India.

Shai Hope, now the only ODI batsman to score two 100s in tied ODI games. In August 2017, he had became the only batsman to register 100s in each innings in any first-class match at the Headingley cricket ground in Leeds. He did so in the Test match.#INDvWI
