00:04India produced a sensational batting performance in Guwahati, chasing down a mammoth 406-run
00:11target against the West Indies to win the second ODI by 8 wickets with 39 balls to spare.
00:18Captain Shubman Gill smashed an unbitten 223 off just 133 balls,
00:24while Rohit Sharma scored 101 as India reached 406 by 2 in 43.3 overs.
00:32The victory gave India an unassailable to zero lead in the three-match ODI series.
00:39Gill produced one of the most remarkable innings of his career,
00:43smashing 26 fours and eight sixes during his unbitten 223.
00:47The India captain reached his second ODI double century in only 117 balls,
00:55setting a new record for the fastest double century in ODI cricket.
01:00He surpassed Ishan Kishan's previous mark of 126 balls.
01:06Gill's 223 also became the highest individual score in an ODI run chase,
01:11as he remained at the crease until India completed the extraordinary chase.
01:15The foundation for India's incredible chase was laid by Gill and Rohit Sharma.
01:22The opening pair launched an attacking assault from the beginning,
01:26putting together a massive 255-run partnership from just 158 balls.
01:34Rohit brought up his 35th ODI century, scoring 101 before being dismissed.
01:40His aggressive innings included 10 fours and 6 sixes.
01:45The partnership gave India tremendous momentum and ensured that the enormous 406-run target never appeared out of reach.
01:54Earlier, the West Indies had seemingly put themselves in a commanding position after smashing 405 by 750 overs.
02:03It was their highest ever ODI total and their first 400-plus score in the format.
02:10John Campbell started the assault with a rapid 101 off 68 balls, while captain Shai Hope scored 104.
02:19Amir Jangu then produced another explosive century, finishing with 114 off 77 balls.
02:27The three centuries made it a historic innings for West Indies, with three of their batters reaching three figures in
02:34the same ODI innings for only the sixth time in Maine's ODI history.
02:39The Guwahati contest also created another remarkable record.
02:45For the first time in ODI history, five centuries were scored in the same match.
02:51Campbell, Hope and Jangu scored hundreds for West Indies, before Rohit and Gil added centuries for India.
02:58The extraordinary batting display resulted in a combined 811 runs across the two innings.
03:05After Rohit's departure, Gil continued his assault.
03:10Virat Kohli contributed a quick 29, while Rutturaj Gayakwar stayed unbitten on 31.
03:18Gil eventually guided India across the finish line at 406 by 2 in 43.3 overs, completing India's highest successful
03:27ODI chase.
03:28It was also only the second successful 400-plus chase in Maine's ODI history, behind South Africa's famous 438 by
03:389 against Australia in 2006.
03:42With the 8-wicket victory, India sealed the three-match series to zero, with one game still remaining.
03:48But the night belonged overwhelmingly to Shubman Gil.
03:53His unbitten to 23, fastest ODI double-century and record-breaking chase turned an already extraordinary run-fest into a
04:02historic night for Indian cricket.
