Shubman Gill ⁠struck the fastest double century in one-day ⁠international history as India completed the second-highest successful ‌chase in an ODI with an eight-wicket victory over West Indies in the second match of the three-game series ​in Guwahati on Wednesday.

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. The 27-year-old scored his ​first ODI double ‌century against New Zealand in Hyderabad in ⁠2023.

Rohit Sharma ​had set the tone with a 72-ball ton, passing 12,000 runs in the format, during a blistering ⁠255-run opening stand with Gill. After ​Rohit's departure, Gill ensured India's charge did not lose momentum as he anchored their pursuit of a ⁠massive 406.

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. ​Only the sixth instance of ⁠three batters making hundreds in the same ODI innings ​helped the tourists amass 405-7, ‌but India reached their target ​with 39 balls remaining.

周三在古瓦哈提举行的三场系列赛的第二场比赛中，印度队以 8 个小门击败西印度群岛队，完成了 ODI 历史上第二高的追分纪录，其中 Shubman Gill 打出了 ODI 历史上最快的双百。

世界排名第一的ODI击球手吉尔以133球223分的成绩保持不败，不仅取得了职业生涯最快的ODI百，还将其转化为最快的ODI双百。这位27岁的球员于2023年在海得拉巴对阵新西兰的比赛中首次取得了ODI双百。

罗希特·沙玛以72球破百的惊人表现奠定了比赛基调，他的个人在该赛制中的总得分也突破了12000分大关。他与吉尔联手贡献了255分的开局，表现惊艳。罗希特出局后，吉尔稳住阵脚，确保印度队的进攻势头不减，带领球队向着406分的巨大目标发起冲击。

西印度群岛队在取得队史首个400多分的ODI总分后，一度看起来完全掌控了比赛，约翰·坎贝尔、沙伊·霍普和阿米尔·詹古都打出了世纪百。三位击球手在同一场ODI比赛中均取得世纪百，这在历史上仅有第六次出现，帮助客队最终拿下405分，仅失7个出局。然而，印度队最终在还剩39个球的情况下完成了目标。
