In a thunderous night at Guwahati, Shubman Gill struck an unbeaten 223 off 133 balls, guiding India to a 406/2 triumph over West Indies.
Gill's 223* came after a blistering 117‑ball double century, eclipsing Ishan Kishan's 126‑ball record and becoming the highest individual score in a successful ODI chase. He struck 26 fours and eight sixes, adding a new personal best to his career.
The innings followed a historic chapter at Edgbaston, where Gill scored 269 in 2025, the highest by an Indian captain in a Test in England. Now, with the Guwahati double century, he is the first captain to notch double centuries in both formats.
India chased a target over 400, the second time a team has done so in a successful ODI pursuit, with a 100‑run margin and 39 balls to spare. The opening stand of 255 between Gill and Rohit Sharma, with Rohit’s 101, set the tone for the chase.
With this win, India takes a 2‑0 series lead and cements Gill’s place among cricket’s elite captains. Next up: the final ODI in Nagpur, where India will aim to seal the series and climb the ICC rankings.
