Match Report: A Run Feast for the Ages
Some matches get talked about for years, and this will be one of them. At the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, India and West Indies combined for 811 runs and five centuries, and India came out on top by chasing down a target that only one team in history had ever reached before.
For readers new to the format: in an ODI, each side bats for up to 50 overs. A score of 300 is usually a strong total, and 400 is enormous. Before this game, only one team had ever successfully chased 400 or more in the whole history of ODI cricket. India have now joined that list.
West Indies Post Their Highest-Ever Total
India won the toss and chose to bowl, but West Indies made them pay. Opener John Campbell set the tone with a rapid 101 off 68 balls, and captain Shai Hope anchored the innings with 104.
The star of the innings, though, was Amir Jangoo, who hit a brilliant 114 off just 77 balls with 13 fours. He and Hope added 182 for the third wicket, taking West Indies to 329 for 2 by the 40th over. A late collapse slowed them slightly, but Roston Chase (29 not out) pushed them to 405 for 7, the highest total West Indies have ever made in an ODI.
For India, Kuldeep Yadav was the most economical bowler, taking 2 for 65 from his 10 overs. Ravindra Jadeja and Gurnoor Brar also picked up two wickets each, but everyone went for plenty on a pitch built for batting.
The Openers Make It Look Easy
Chasing 406, India needed a strong start. They got one of the best openings you will ever see. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill raced to 92 without loss in the first 10 overs and never slowed down.
The pair put on 255 for the first wicket in just 26 overs. Rohit brought up his 35th ODI century before he was out lbw to Jayden Seales for 101 off 75 balls. By then, India were well ahead of the required rate.
Gill Writes His Name in the Record Books
With Rohit gone, Gill simply kept going. Virat Kohli chipped in with a quick 29, and Ruturaj Gaikwad (31 not out) gave steady support, but this was Gill's night.
He reached his double hundred faster than anyone in the history of ODI cricket, and finished unbeaten on 223 off 133 balls, with 26 fours and 8 sixes. It was his second ODI double century, coming 1,351 days after his first, and it followed a hundred in the first ODI of the series too. India reached 406 for 2 in 43.3 overs, a remarkably calm finish to a chase that should have been almost impossible.
Turning Point
The match was decided in the first 26 overs of India's chase. A target of 406 needs a huge start, and Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill delivered a 255-run opening partnership at more than nine runs an over. That stand turned an intimidating chase into a comfortable one. Once they were that far ahead of the required rate, West Indies had no way back, and Gill had the freedom to chase history.
