India vs West Indies 2nd ODI: Shubman Gill's Colossal 223 and Rohit's Century Seal Historic 406 Chase

GUWAHATI — On an extraordinary evening of one-day international cricket at the ACA Stadium, India chased down a mammoth 406-run target to defeat the West Indies by eight wickets, wrapping up the three-match ODI series 2-0 with a match to spare.

Led by skipper Shubman Gill’s masterclass 223 off 133 deliveries and Rohit Sharma’s brisk 101, the hosts turned what appeared to be an intimidating record total into a stroll, crossing the line with 39 deliveries to spare.

Earlier, the West Indies produced their highest ODI total against India, racking up 405/7 in 50 overs courtesy of three separate centurions: opener John Campbell (101), captain Shai Hope (104), and middle-order batter Amir Jangoo (114). However, their bowlers were powerless under the Guwahati lights against a ferocious Indian batting masterclass.

First Innings: Windies Batters Light Up Guwahati

Winning the toss and electing to bowl first, India hoped early seam movement would rattle the Caribbean top order. The visitors, however, turned conditions on their head with relentless counter-attacking strokeplay.

After Keacy Carty fell early for 9 to Prasidh Krishna, John Campbell joined hands with skipper Shai Hope to launch an assault. Campbell cracked 101 off 68 balls, hammering nine boundaries and five towering sixes.

Once Campbell departed, Amir Jangoo picked up the mantle, producing a blistering 114 from just 77 balls packed with 13 fours and 3 sixes. Hope anchored the innings methodically with a 94-ball 104, allowing the visitors to post 405/7—marking the first time three batters scored hundreds in the same ODI innings against India.

Indian seamers found the pitch unforgiving. Debutant Gurnoor Brar finished with 2/96, while Kuldeep Yadav (2/65) and Ravindra Jadeja (2/75) were the only bowlers able to exercise any mid-innings control.

The Chase: Gill and Rohit Make History

Chasing a target that required an initial run-rate of 8.12 per over, India's opening pair took complete charge of the contest.

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill tore through the Windies pace pack in the powerplay, putting on a colossal 254-run opening partnership inside 27 overs. Rohit crossed the 12,000-run milestone in ODI cricket on his way to a 75-ball 101, punctuated by 10 boundaries and 6 sixes. He fell lbw to Jayden Seales in the 27th over, but the damage was already done.

Following Rohit's departure and a cameo from Virat Kohli (29 off 19), Gill shifted into another gear. The Indian skipper unleashed an array of signature short-arm jabs, cover drives, and pull shots, hammering 26 fours and 8 maximums to reach an unbeaten 223 off 133 balls. Ruturaj Gaikwad (31*) provided solid company at the other end as India stormed past the finish line in the 44th over to pull off one of the highest successful chases in international 50-over history.

The third and final ODI will take place on Saturday, October 3, at the Maharaja Yadvindra Singh PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh.
