Indian batter Shubman Gill has smashed the fastest ODI double century on his way to an unbeaten 223 off 133 balls and a win against West Indies.
Shubman Gill led India in a huge run chase against the West Indies. Indian batter Shubman Gill has smashed the fastest ODI double century on his way to an unbeaten 223 off 133 balls.
Gill reached 200 off just 117 balls as India chased down the West Indies total of 7-405 with 39 balls to spare. Three West Indians scored centuries in their innings, just the sixth time a trio of batters brought up triple figures in the same ODI innings. Shubman Gill has struck the fastest double century in one-day international history as India completed the second-highest successful chase in a ODI.
Wednesday's eight-wicket victory over West Indies was a run-filled second match of the three-game series in Guwahati. Gill, the world's top-ranked ODI batter, remained unbeaten on 223 off 133 deliveries and brought up the quickest ODI century of his career before converting it into the fastest ODI double hundred .
"When it was 13 overs it felt like we had fielded for 25 overs, the way they were batting. Great game," Gill told reporters.
"At the half-time, 400 on the board, there was a bit of pressure. No matter the pitch or ground, chasing 400 is not easy. Rohit Sharma set the tone with a 72-ball century, passing 12,000 ODI runs during a blistering 255-run opening stand with Gill, before Jayden Seales ended his innings on 101 shortly after he brought up his 35th ODI hundred. Virat Kohli made 29 off 19 deliveries before Shamar Joseph dismissed him with India well placed at 2-320.
Ruturaj Gaikwad chipped in with 31 off 37 balls, and with the Guwahati surface offering little assistance to the bowlers Gill guided India to their target with 39 balls to spare. West Indies had looked in complete control after posting their first 400-plus ODI total with John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo scoring centuries. Three batters making hundreds in the same ODI innings, only the sixth time this has happened, helped the touring side amass 7-405.
After Keacy Carty's early dismissal, Campbell blasted a 65-ball century, the fifth-fastest by a West Indian batter, racing to 101 with nine fours and five sixes before falling to Gurnoor Brar. Roston Chase maintained the momentum with a late cameo as the visitors plundered 76 runs from the final 10 overs. Sports content to make you think... or allow you not to.
