West Indies posted the highest ODI total in their history, 405 for 7, against India in the second ODI at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, on September 30 — the first time the team has ever crossed 400 in the format. The innings was built on three separate centuries, and it also produced a personal landmark for India's Kuldeep Yadav, who reached 200 ODI wickets while West Indies were piling on the runs.
Captain Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to field, a call that backfired badly as John Campbell (101 off 68 balls, 9 fours, 5 sixes), Shai Hope (104 off 94, 8 fours, 3 sixes) and Amir Jangoo (114 off 77, 13 fours, 3 sixes) all went to three figures in the same innings. It is only the second time three batters have scored centuries in a single ODI innings against India — South Africa were the first, when Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis and AB de Villiers all hit hundreds in the 2015 series decider at the Wankhede Stadium en route to 438 for 4. For West Indies specifically, it is the first time in their own ODI history that three of their batters have reached a century in the same innings, regardless of opponent — and West Indies also became just the third team ever to score 400 or more against India in an ODI innings.
The runs came at a cost to India's bowlers across the board, but Kuldeep Yadav still reached a personal milestone in the middle of the onslaught: removing Keemo Paul in the 46th over took him to 200 ODI wickets, in what was his 123rd appearance in the format. He becomes only the seventh Indian bowler to reach the mark, and the fastest Indian spinner to get there — no other Indian slow bowler, including Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh or Ravindra Jadeja, reached 200 ODI wickets in fewer appearances. Among all spinners in ODI history, only Saqlain Mushtaq (5,451 deliveries) and Rashid Khan (5,782) reached the mark in fewer balls bowled than Kuldeep's 6,319.
India went into the match 1-0 up in the three-match series after Virat Kohli's unbeaten 139 and a century from Gill sealed an eight-wicket win in the Thiruvananthapuram opener, with Rohit Sharma also chasing a personal landmark of his own — 12,000 ODI runs — coming into Guwahati. West Indies' first-innings total flips the tactical picture from that opener entirely: rather than defending a total in the mid-290s, India were left needing to chase a target beyond anything they have successfully reached in a completed ODI run-chase.
For West Indies, a maiden 400-plus total is a marker of batting depth that has rarely been on display through a series in which their top order had, until Guwahati, struggled to fire together. For India, conceding 405 exposes exactly how costly a good day for opposition batters can be even with a bowling attack that includes a newly minted 200-wicket bowler in Kuldeep — a reminder that white-ball cricket at grounds like Barsapara, which have historically rewarded batting, can turn even a strong bowling unit's numbers on their head in a single innings.
