Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 223 off 133 balls, the fastest double century in ODI history, and Rohit Sharma ‘s 101 helped India chase down 406 against West Indies in the second ODI in Guwahati on Wednesday. India completed their highest successful chase in the format with 39 balls to spare, winning by eight wickets and taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. The West Indies captain went on to score 104 off 94 balls, hitting eight fours and three sixes, as he kept the scoring rate high and prevented India from making a comeback.
Gill’s innings was the highest individual score in an ODI chase and the highest by a captain in the format.
The conditions also put Kuldeep Yadav’s figures of 2-65 from 10 overs into context. Kuldeep became the second-quickest Indian to reach 200 ODI wickets during the match. Part-time off-spinner Naman Dhir conceded only 38 runs in 6.1 overs before leaving the field after getting injured.
Gill’s innings came alongside Rohit, the only other batter to have scored multiple double-centuries in ODIs.
India became only the second team to chase a target of 400 or more in men’s ODIs, after South Africa chased 438 against Australia in Johannesburg in 2006. India finished on 406 for two in 43.3 overs after West Indies had posted their highest ODI total of 405 for seven. Gill remained unbeaten on 223 off 133 balls, hitting 26 fours and eight sixes, while Rohit scored 101 off 75 balls with 10 fours and six sixes. The opening pair added 255 runs for the first wicket, giving India a strong start to the chase.
