Shubman Gill’s 223* leads India past West Indies in record ODI chase
India reached 406/2 in Guwahati after West Indies made 405/7, and Gill reached his ODI double-century in a record 117 balls.
What happened in Guwahati
India completed a remarkable run chase against West Indies in the second men’s ODI on 30 September 2026. West Indies made 405/7, their highest men’s ODI total, but India reached 406/2 in 43.3 overs at Guwahati to win by eight wickets and take an unassailable 2–0 lead in the three-match series.
The raw numbers tell only part of the story. A chase of 406 normally leaves little room for a quiet period; India’s openers instead put on 255. Rohit Sharma scored 101 from 75 balls and Shubman Gill stayed unbeaten to the end. Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad contributed after the opening stand had established control.
Gill’s double-century, in context
Gill finished 223 not out from 133 balls. He reached 200 in 117 balls, which the ICC identifies as the fastest double-century in men’s ODI cricket, and his 223* became the highest individual score in a successful ODI chase. He had already made 208 against New Zealand in 2023; the Guwahati innings was a different match and his second ODI double-century.
The innings was impressive not just because of its speed. Gill stayed throughout a chase in which the target was above 400, converting a huge opening partnership into a completed team result. The official ICC report describes India’s pursuit as the second-highest successful ODI run chase, not a new overall highest chase.
West Indies’ innings and the next match
West Indies’ 405/7 included centuries from John Campbell (101), captain Shai Hope (104) and Amir Jangoo (114). Taken with Rohit’s and Gill’s hundreds, the match featured five centuries. Kuldeep Yadav took 2/65 in a demanding bowling innings and reached 200 ODI wickets, according to the ICC report.
The third ODI is scheduled for 3 October in Chandigarh. India have already secured the series, but the last match remains a separate fixture from the Asian Games men’s cricket final taking place that day in Japan. Readers checking a live score should use the match date and competition to avoid mixing those events together.
