Shubman Gill 223, Rohit 101 Power India to 406‑405 ODI Victory

Shubman Gill smashed an unbeaten 223 off 133 balls, the fastest double‑century in ODI history, while fighting cramps and a sore neck. The 26 fours and eight sixes carved a 5‑run cushion that kept the West Indies on the back foot.

The opening stand of 255 runs with Rohit Sharma—who finished on 101 off 75 balls—was the game‑changer. Two quick boundaries and a six in the 12th over put India 200 for 0, forcing the Windies to chase a mammoth target.

West Indies pushed 405 for seven, the first 400‑plus total in their history, with three centurions: John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo. Yet the final 11 overs yielded only 82 for five, a collapse that allowed India to close out the chase with 39 balls to spare.

Kuldeep Yadav’s 2‑65 from 10 overs and Naman Dhir’s 38 off 6.1 overs were respectable on a batsman‑friendly surface, while Kuldeep’s haul nudged him past 200 ODI wickets, the second quickest Indian to reach that milestone.

The win secures India a clean 2‑0 series lead and cements Gill’s place among the great ODI chasers. The record chase will be replayed in the headlines for weeks.

The third ODI, the decider, is set for Thursday at Eden Gardens, where India will look to finish the series at home.
