Shubman Gill’s double-ton, Rohit’s 12,000: India rewrite ODI record books in Guwahati against West Indies
Gill hit the fastest ODI double century and Rohit passed 12,000 runs as India completed the second-highest successful chase in the format.
On Wednesday, India captain Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten 223 at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati, leading his team to chase 406 and secure an eight-wicket victory with a 2–0 series lead against West Indies.
West Indies posted their highest-ever ODI total of 405 for seven, powered by centuries from John Campbell, Shai Hope, and Amir Jangoo, who exploited the flat Barsapara Cricket Stadium deck to set India a record chase.
Gill reached his double century in just 117 balls, recording the fastest double-hundred in ODI history and becoming only the second Indian batter after Rohit Sharma to register multiple double centuries.
Veteran Rohit Sharma crossed 12,000 ODI runs during his 101-run knock, becoming the third Indian to reach the milestone and providing crucial support during the record-breaking opening partnership with Gill.
India's successful pursuit of 406 runs ranks as the second-highest successful run chase in ODI history, trailing only South Africa's 438-run effort against Australia in 2006.
