Shubman Gill scored his second one-day international double century, matching the record set by Kumar Sangakkara, as India chased down 406 against the West Indies in Guwahati. The innings, which lasted 269 balls, saw Gill reach 200 in 327 deliveries, with Rohit Sharma adding 100 in 125 balls to help India secure a 8-wicket win. The victory sealed the three-match series for India, marking their highest successful run chase in ODI history.
Gill's innings included 22 boundaries and 5 sixes, with his consistency and power proving crucial in the middle order. Rohit Sharma, playing his 14th ODI against the West Indies, contributed a fluent 100, ensuring the team's chase remained under control. The partnership between the two batsmen, who combined for 275 runs, was instrumental in India's dominance.
This performance comes after Gill had already set a new ODI record with a double century in the previous match. His second double ton in as many games highlights his form and places him among the elite in ODI cricket. Virat Kohli, meanwhile, climbed to second in the ICC men's ODI batting rankings after scoring a 55th century against the West Indies. The result further solidifies India's position as a formidable force in limited-overs cricket.
