Fastest double ton in ODI history powers India’s record chase

Shubman Gill’s dazzling unbeaten 223 off 133 balls, the fastest double hundred in ODI history as Ishan Kishan’s record stands broken, and Rohit Sharma’s 101 helped India gun down a target of 406. It is the highest chase by the men in blue in the 50-over format and only the second time a target of 400 or more has been chased in ODIs, after South Africa’s 438 against Australia in Johannesburg in 2006. India got there, rather astonishingly, with 39 balls to spare and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Earlier, John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo all hammered hundreds as India’s attack was cudgeled to all parts of the ground in Guwahati, with debutant Auqib Nabi finishing with horrid figures of 0 for 84 from his 8.5 overs, the most expensive debut for an Indian bowler. It may have been an outstanding victory for the hosts, but the leather hunt in the first innings witnessed the departure of Prasidh Krishna from the field of play, who bowled only five overs and could be a candidate for a hamstring injury. For an attack missing the services of Jasprit Bumrah, this is not good news at all because Gurnoor Brar and Nabi are wet behind their ears, leaving the onus of leading the pace battery on Krishna.

Brief scores: West Indies 405/7 in 50 overs (Amir Jangoo 114, Shai Hope 104, John Campbell 101; Kuldeep Yadav 2-65, Ravindra Jadeja 2-75, Gurnoor Brar 2-96) lost to India 406/2 in 43.3 overs (Shubman Gill 223*, Rohit Sharma 101; Shamar Joseph 1-52, Jayden Seales 1-78) by 8 wickets.
