India chased down West Indies' first-ever 400-plus ODI total of 405 for 7 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, winning by eight wickets with 39 balls to spare and sealing the three-match series 2-0. The chase, completed in 43.3 overs, is only the second time a team has successfully chased a target above 400 in ODI history — behind South Africa's famous 438 for 9 against Australia in Johannesburg in 2006 — and it was built almost entirely around one innings: captain Shubman Gill's unbeaten 223.
Gill reached his double century off just 117 balls, the fastest double hundred in men's ODI history, beating the previous mark of 126 balls set by Ishan Kishan against Bangladesh in 2022. He finished unbeaten on 223 off 133 balls, with 26 fours and 8 sixes at a strike rate of 167.66, making it the second century of his ODI career to go past 200 after his 208 not out against New Zealand. It is also the highest individual score ever made by a batter in a successful ODI run chase, and sits as the third-highest individual score in ODI history behind Rohit Sharma's 264 and Martin Guptill's 237 not out.
Gill's record-breaking knock came alongside a personal milestone for opening partner Rohit Sharma, who smashed 101 off 75 balls (10 fours, 6 sixes) and crossed 12,000 ODI runs during the innings — becoming only the seventh batter in the format's history, and the third Indian after Sachin Tendulkar (18,426) and Virat Kohli (15,080), to reach the mark. Rohit got there in 12,973 balls faced, the second-fastest by that measure behind only Kohli's 12,853. The pair put on 255 for the first wicket before Rohit fell, by which point West Indies' 406-run target had already been reduced to a formality. Ruturaj Gaikwad finished the chase unbeaten on 31.
West Indies' first innings — three individual centuries from John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo, plus Kuldeep Yadav's 200th ODI wicket — had looked like it might be enough to level the series after India's series-opening win in Thiruvananthapuram. Instead, Gill and Rohit turned a target that would have challenged most completed ODI chases into a canter, finishing with more than six overs unused. It leaves West Indies 0-2 down with one dead-rubber match remaining at New Chandigarh on October 3.
Two separate all-time ODI records — fastest double century and a top-three individual score — coming out of the same chase, in the same match where a teammate reached a career-run landmark, is a rare clustering of history even by the standards of a format that has produced several 400-plus totals in the last two years. For India, it also confirms Gill's white-ball captaincy start has coincided with some of the most destructive batting the ODI format has produced from any Indian top order, a trend selectors will be watching closely heading into India's long tour of New Zealand later in October.
