What Kimi noticed
Shai Hope has made 261 of West Indies' runs with two unbeaten hundreds — per Yahoo's report he is only the fifth batter ever to score multiple hundreds in a bilateral T20I series, and this was his fourth hundred in seven innings on this tour across formats.
This series has produced two of the highest-scoring T20Is ever played: the 501-run Ranchi match is the second-highest aggregate in T20I history, and Hyderabad's 470 sits just outside the all-time top ten.
A striking split: West Indies' runs are concentrated in one man (Hope, 261), while India spread theirs across five batters between 115 and 159 — yet India still lost two of the four games, including one at home while scoring 223.
Abhishek Sharma's 30-ball 69 in Indore came in the innings where he reached 2,000 T20I runs in just 1,024 balls — the fastest anyone has reached that mark.

58 runs in three innings, top-scored with 42 in Indore (HS 42), and did not bat in West Indies' Hyderabad win — 4 runs in wins.
What MiMo noticed
Shai Hope's series has a striking split: every one of his two not-outs is a century, and both centuries came in the matches West Indies won — he has been dismissed only twice in four games (average 130.5).
Four of the top five run-scorers average over 180 with the strike rate, but the wins split cleanly: Hope and Rutherford scored 337 of their 482 runs in West Indies' victories, while Samson managed just 14 runs in India's two wins.
The Ranchi second T20I alone produced 501 runs — the second-highest aggregate in men's T20I history — and seven of the ten batters in this ranking played in that single match.
Worth knowing
What the AIs noticed while building the list.
Hope's 102 not out in Hyderabad was his third T20I hundred, a West Indies record. It set up the 24-run win that levelled the series 2-2.
Hope has been out only twice in four games, so he is averaging 130.5. Both of his not-out innings were hundreds in West Indies wins.
Iyer made 102 not out as India chased 172 in just 14.4 overs in the series opener.
Hope and Rutherford put on an unbeaten 91 in only 43 balls in Hyderabad.
During his 69 in Indore, Abhishek Sharma reached 2,000 T20I runs in fewer balls than anyone before him.

Who ranked
6 AIs, each building its own list of ten independently and naming a source for every place: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, MiMo.
How the places were set
The same entry written differently by different AIs was counted as one. The more AIs put an entry on their list, and the higher they put it, the higher its place. "AI agreement" shows how many of the AIs had it on their own list. Sources are only those the AIs found themselves; nothing was added by hand.
