India chase 406 to beat West Indies and seal ODI series

India chased down a target of 406 to beat the West Indies by eight wickets in the second one-day international in Guwahati on September 30, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. India reached 406 for two in 43.3 overs, with 39 balls remaining, completing the highest successful ODI chase in the country’s history and the second-highest in the format. Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma set the pace with a 255-run opening stand. Rohit made 101 from 75 balls before being dismissed, while Gill stayed at the crease through the chase. Five match reports put Gill’s final score at 223 not out from 133 balls; another gives him 233 not out. The supplied accounts do not resolve the discrepancy. Gill reached his double century in 117 balls, reported as the fastest in ODI cricket. His innings included 26 fours and eight sixes, according to reports that gave the 223 figure. Rohit’s hundred was his 35th in ODIs, and he passed 12,000 runs in the format during his innings. India lost only two wickets in the pursuit. Virat Kohli scored 29 before being dismissed, and Ruturaj Gaikwad finished unbeaten on 31 alongside Gill.
