Gill's unbeaten 223 powers India past West Indies' record ODI total

Shubman Gill struck an unbeaten 223 as India overhauled a target of 406 to win the second one-day international against West Indies in Guwahati by eight wickets. According to BBC Sport, India finished on 406-2 after 43.3 overs, leaving 39 deliveries unused despite facing the highest total West Indies have made in the format.

Watch the highlights:

The India captain's career-best innings was built around a rapid hundred and an even quicker second century. Gill reached three figures from 62 balls, then needed another 55 to reach 200. He hit 26 fours and eight sixes, accounting for 152 of his runs in boundaries, and remained at the crease when the chase ended.

Rohit Sharma supplied a century alongside Gill in an opening partnership worth 255. Rohit was dismissed lbw for 101, while Virat Kohli contributed 29 before becoming the second wicket to fall. Ruturaj Gaikwad then joined Gill to complete the pursuit. The opening stand had already taken India more than halfway towards a target that required them to score beyond 400.

West Indies had reached 405-7 from their 50 overs through hundreds from John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo. Campbell made 101, Hope 104 and Jangoo 114. BBC Sport reported that this was only the sixth occasion in ODI history on which three batters from the same team had scored centuries in a single innings.

Two substantial partnerships underpinned that record total. Campbell and Hope added 110 for the second wicket in just 79 deliveries, before Hope and Jangoo shared a third-wicket stand of 182. Campbell's contribution included five sixes and an over against Prasidh Krishna that yielded 22 runs, helping West Indies establish the platform for their eventual score.

India's bowlers had a difficult innings before their batters took control. BBC Sport reported injuries to Krishna and Naman Dhir, without giving further details of their severity. Debutant Auqib Nabi conceded 84 runs, the fourth-highest figure for an Indian on ODI debut. Those setbacks did not prevent India completing the chase with more than six overs remaining, as Gill's second ODI double-century turned a record West Indies batting performance into defeat.
