Anonymous
India chased the West Indies’ record 405-7 to win the second ODI in Guwahati by eight wickets, reaching 406 with 39 balls to spare and sealing the series 2-0. Captain Shubman Gill finished unbeaten on 223 from 133 balls, reaching his second ODI double century in 117 deliveries to set a record for the fastest double hundred; he is the second batter after Rohit Sharma to score multiple ODI double centuries. Gill also became the first captain to score double centuries in both Test and ODI cricket. Rohit scored 101 in a 255-run opening stand with Gill, and became the third Indian and seventh player overall to pass 12,000 ODI runs. West Indies’ John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo also scored centuries, making it a match featuring five hundreds.
