India vs West Indies 2nd ODI 2026
India vs West Indies 2nd ODI 2026: Shubman Gill produced one of the most extraordinary ODI innings in recent cricket history as India chased down 406 runs against West Indies at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!India reached 406/2 in 43.3 overs, defeating West Indies by eight wickets with 39 balls remaining and taking an unassailable 2–0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
At the centre of the extraordinary chase was India’s captain.
Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 223 from 133 balls, producing the fastest double-century in men’s ODI cricket. He reached 200 in only 117 balls, breaking Ishan Kishan’s previous record of a 126-ball ODI double-century.
Gill’s historic innings contained 28 fours and 8 sixes and became the highest individual score in an ODI successful run chase. He was supported brilliantly by Rohit Sharma, who scored 101 from 75 balls, as India produced a 255-run opening partnership.
The match was remarkable from the very beginning.
West Indies had earlier posted 405/7, their highest-ever ODI total, with John Campbell (101), Shai Hope (104) and Amir Jangoo (114) all scoring centuries.
For the first time in men’s ODI cricket, five different batters scored centuries in the same match.
Yet even 405 was not enough.
India chased it down with remarkable authority.

Shubman Gill Turns Guwahati Into a Personal Record Book
Some ODI innings are remembered for their elegance.
Some are remembered for their power.
Gill’s 223* belonged to both categories.
Chasing 406, India needed an extraordinary start, and Gill delivered it from the first over.
He attacked the West Indies bowling without allowing the enormous target to dictate his tempo.
Gill reached his century in just 62 balls, setting the record for the fastest ODI hundred by an Indian captain.
But that was only the beginning.
He accelerated further and reached his second ODI double-century in just 117 balls, making it the fastest double-century in ODI history.
Gill eventually finished unbeaten on:
223 runs off 133 balls
28 fours
8 sixes
His innings was his second ODI double-century, after his 208 against New Zealand in Hyderabad in 2023.
He therefore became only the second Indian batter after Rohit Sharma to score multiple ODI double-centuries.
More significantly, Gill became the first captain to score a double-century in both Test and ODI cricket.
Gill’s 223* – A Record-Breaking Innings
The numbers tell the story.
| Achievement | Gill’s Record |
|---|---|
| Runs | 223* |
| Balls | 133 |
| Fours | 28 |
| Sixes | 8 |
| Century | 62 balls |
| Double-century | 117 balls |
| ODI double-centuries | 2 |
| Highest score in an ODI chase | 223* |
| Fastest ODI double-century | 117 balls |
Gill’s 223* is now the third-highest individual score in men’s ODI history, behind Rohit Sharma’s 264 and Martin Guptill’s 237*.
It is also the highest individual score ever made while successfully chasing a target in ODI cricket.
Rohit Sharma Adds Another Century to the History Books
While Gill produced the headline-making double-century, Rohit Sharma made sure the chase had a powerful foundation.
The Indian opener scored:
Rohit Sharma – 101 off 75 balls
His innings included 10 fours and 6 sixes.
Rohit reached his century from 72 balls, then was dismissed soon after, trapped lbw by Jayden Seales.
It was Rohit’s 35th ODI century.
But the century was not his only milestone.
During the innings, Rohit crossed 12,000 ODI runs, becoming only the third Indian batter after Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli to reach the landmark.
He became the seventh batter overall to reach 12,000 men’s ODI runs.
Asian Games 2026 Cricket Schedule, India Squad & Matches
India’s 255-Run Opening Partnership
Gill and Rohit turned what could have been a daunting chase into something that looked remarkably manageable.
The pair added 255 runs for the first wicket.
It was:
- India’s second-highest opening partnership in men’s ODIs
- India’s highest partnership for any wicket in an ODI run chase
- India’s highest partnership against West Indies in ODIs
Only Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly’s 258-run opening stand against Kenya in Paarl in 2001 remains higher for an Indian opening pair.
The partnership also completely changed the psychology of the chase.
At 255 without loss, India had transformed a 406-run target from a potential marathon into a realistic finish.
Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad Finish the Job
After Rohit was dismissed at 255, India did not lose momentum.
Virat Kohli came in and scored a brisk:
Virat Kohli – 29 off 19 balls
He was dismissed at 320, but by then India were firmly in control.
Ruturaj Gaikwad then joined Gill and helped take India over the line.
Ruturaj Gaikwad – 31 off 37 balls*
Gill remained unbeaten until the finish, while Gaikwad struck the winning runs as India reached 406/2 in 43.3 overs.
India therefore completed the chase with 39 deliveries remaining.
West Indies Post Their Highest-Ever ODI Total
Before Gill and Rohit took over the evening, West Indies had produced an extraordinary batting performance of their own.
They scored:
405/7 in 50 overs
It was the first time West Indies had crossed the 400-run mark in men’s ODI cricket.
Their previous highest ODI total was 389 against England in 2019.
The Guwahati total therefore established a new West Indies record.
And yet, remarkably, it still ended in defeat.
John Campbell Starts the West Indies Charge
John Campbell provided West Indies with an explosive beginning.
He scored:
101 off 68 balls
His innings contained:
- 9 fours
- 5 sixes
Campbell reached his century from 65 balls, putting enormous pressure on India’s opening bowlers.
He was eventually dismissed by Gurnoor Brar for 101.
Shai Hope Produces Another Important ODI Century
Captain Shai Hope played the stabilising role in the middle of the innings.
He scored:
104 off 94 balls
The century was Hope’s 20th ODI hundred.
It also moved him past Brian Lara in the list of West Indies batters with the most ODI centuries.
Only Chris Gayle, with 25, has more ODI hundreds for West Indies.
Hope’s innings combined control with acceleration and kept the West Indies innings moving after Campbell’s dismissal.
Amir Jangoo Produces a Stunning 114
Amir Jangoo was arguably the most destructive West Indies batter of the afternoon.
He smashed:
114 off 77 balls
His innings included:
- 13 fours
- 3 sixes
Jangoo’s century ensured that West Indies maintained an extraordinary scoring rate deep into the innings.
Together, Campbell, Hope and Jangoo produced three centuries in the same ODI innings.
That had happened only five times previously in men’s ODIs.
Guwahati therefore became the sixth such occasion.
West Indies also became the first team to score three individual hundreds in an ODI innings and still finish on the losing side.
Five Centuries in One ODI: A First in Cricket History
This is perhaps the most unusual statistic from the entire match.
The five centuries were:
| Player | Team | Score |
|---|---|---|
| John Campbell | West Indies | 101 |
| Shai Hope | West Indies | 104 |
| Amir Jangoo | West Indies | 114 |
| Rohit Sharma | India | 101 |
| Shubman Gill | India | 223* |
That means five individual centuries were scored in one ODI match.
No previous men’s ODI had produced five individual hundreds.
The previous maximum was four centuries in a single ODI match.
Kuldeep Yadav Reaches 200 ODI Wickets
India’s bowlers had a difficult afternoon on an extremely batter-friendly surface, but Kuldeep Yadav still managed to create a major career milestone.
His figures:
Kuldeep Yadav – 2/65 in 10 overs
His second wicket of the innings, Keemo Paul, took him to 200 ODI wickets.
Kuldeep became:
- The ninth Indian bowler to reach 200 ODI wickets
- The fastest Indian spinner to the landmark in terms of matches
- The third-fastest spinner overall by balls bowled to 200 ODI wickets
He reached the milestone in his 123rd ODI.

|---|---|---|---|
| Jayden Seales | 8 | 78 | 1 |
| Shamar Joseph | 8 | 52 | 1 |

He was officially named Player of the Match.
India vs West Indies 2nd ODI 2026: Turning Points
1. West Indies Cross 400
405/7 was an enormous total.
For most teams, it would represent an almost impossible target.
But Guwahati’s pitch proved extraordinarily favourable for batting.
2. Rohit and Gill Destroy the Powerplay
The opening partnership removed the pressure that normally accompanies a 400-plus chase.
India crossed 250 for the first wicket, changing the entire match.
3. Rohit’s 101
Rohit’s century ensured India never suffered a prolonged period of consolidation.
His dismissal came only after the opening partnership had reached 255.
4. Gill Accelerates Beyond 200
Gill did not merely survive.
He accelerated.
His 200 arrived in 117 balls, setting a new ODI record for the fastest double-century.
5. India Finish With 39 Balls Remaining
The final statement came when Gaikwad joined Gill and India completed the chase in the 43rd over.
A target of 406 had been chased down with remarkable room to spare.
A Record-Breaking Day for Indian Cricket
India’s victory created several statistical landmarks simultaneously.
India’s highest successful ODI chase

Second-highest successful ODI chase
Only South Africa’s successful chase of 438 against Australia in Johannesburg in 2006 remains higher.

Gill reached 200 in 117 balls.
Gill’s 223 is the highest score in an ODI chase

Only Tendulkar and Ganguly’s 258 against Kenya is higher for India.
Five centuries in one ODI
For the first time, five different batters scored centuries in the same men’s ODI.
West Indies’ highest ODI total
Their 405/7 surpassed their previous record of 389.
Kuldeep’s 200 ODI wickets
The left-arm wrist-spinner reached the landmark in his 123rd ODI.

India entered the Guwahati ODI with a 1–0 advantage after winning the opening match in Thiruvananthapuram.
The second victory has now settled the three-match series.
Series score
India 2–0 West Indies
India therefore cannot lose the ODI series.
The third ODI will now determine whether India complete a 3–0 series sweep or West Indies finish the series with a consolation victory.
While India continue their ODI series against the West Indies, the Indian cricket calendar is also packed with action at the Asian Games 2026, where Shreyas Iyer is leading India in the men’s T20 competition.
India vs West Indies ODI Series 2026
| Match | Date | Venue | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st ODI | September 27, 2026 | Thiruvananthapuram | India won by 8 wickets |
| 2nd ODI | September 30, 2026 | Guwahati | India won by 8 wickets |
| 3rd ODI | October 3, 2026 | New Chandigarh | Upcoming |
The official BCCI home-season schedule confirms the three ODI fixtures.
What This Means Ahead of the 3rd ODI
With the series already decided, the final ODI will carry a different kind of significance.
For India, it offers another opportunity to assess players and combinations ahead of the 2027 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
For West Indies, it is an opportunity to avoid a clean sweep and build something positive after two difficult defeats.
The first two matches have also produced an extraordinary amount of batting data.
India have scored heavily in both games.
West Indies have also demonstrated that their batting unit can produce major totals.
The biggest question heading into New Chandigarh is therefore not whether either batting unit can score runs.
It is whether the bowlers can finally find a way to control the opposition.
India vs West Indies 2nd ODI 2026: What Went Wrong for the Bowlers?
The match was extraordinary for batting, but it was equally remarkable for the difficulty faced by the bowlers.
West Indies scored 405.
India chased 406.
A total of 811 runs were scored in the match.
Only a handful of ODIs have crossed the 800-run aggregate mark, placing Guwahati among the most extreme batting contests in ODI history.
The conditions were exceptionally favourable for strokeplay.
India head coach Gautam Gambhir subsequently highlighted concerns about the balance between bat and ball after the run-fest, noting the challenges modern ODI bowlers already face.
For India, the immediate positive is the batting depth and form.
For West Indies, the bowling response will be one of the major areas to examine before the final ODI.
