India and Shubman Gill’s record-breaking night

India and Shubman Gill’s Record‑Breaking Night

Target chased: 406 – the second‑highest ODI chase ever (after South Africa’s 435 in 2006). It’s the fourth 400+ chase in List A cricket and the first on Indian soil since Karnataka’s 413 in 2023.

Highest Successful ODI Chases

Only four ODI matches have produced 800+ combined runs; Guwahati saw 811.

Shubman Gill’s Historic Knock

• 223* (133 balls) – third‑highest individual ODI score, behind Rohit Sharma’s 264 and Martin Guptill’s 237*.
• First double‑hundred in a chase to exceed 220; the highest chase‑score in all List A cricket.
• 117 balls to reach 200 – fastest ODI double‑hundred, joint‑fourth fastest in List A.
• Second batter to score a double‑hundred while chasing (after Glenn Maxwell’s 201* in 2023).
• First captain to post double‑hundreds in both Tests and ODIs (previously 269 vs England).

Other Batting Highlights

• Five centuries in the Guwahati ODI – the first ODI with five batters reaching three figures.
• Rohit Sharma reached 12,000 ODI runs in 282 innings (7th overall, second fastest after Virat Kohli).
• Opening partnership: 255 runs (Rohit & Gill) – second‑best for India, highest ever for any wicket in an Indian chase and the best opening stand against West Indies.

West Indies’ Batting

• Three West Indies players (John Campbell, Shai Hope, Amir Jangoo) made centuries in the first innings – the sixth ODI instance of three centurions, but the first time the side lost despite this.
• 405/7 – West Indies’ highest ODI total, surpassing their previous best of 389.

Bowling Milestone

• Kuldeep Yadav became the first left‑arm wrist spinner to claim 200 ODI wickets, doing so in 6,319 balls (third‑quickest among spinners) and in 123 matches (second‑fastest for India).
