Shubman Gill’s Record‑Breaking Innings

He reached his double century in 117 balls (Bhaskar report), setting the fastest ODI double century for India and breaking Ishan Kishan’s previous record. His innings also became the biggest individual score in a run‑chase for India, surpassing Glenn Maxwell’s 201* against Afghanistan in 2023.

Rohit Sharma’s Milestones

Rohit Sharma contributed a 101‑run innings, completing his 35th ODI century and becoming the third Indian batsman to surpass 12,000 ODI runs (Bhaskar report). He reached the 12,000‑run mark in the same over where Gill hit two sixes, having faced 12,973 balls to get there.

Gill Reaches 2,000 and 3,500 ODI Runs

During the same innings, Gill achieved 2,000 ODI runs in only 33 innings (Navbharat Times), breaking Desmond Haynes’ 42‑year‑old record for the fastest to the milestone for any nation. He also became the fastest Indian to 3,500 ODI runs, doing so in 68 innings and overtaking Hashim Amla (Bhaskar report).

Key Partnerships and Team Records

Gill and Rohit added 255 runs for the first wicket (Bhaskar report), the highest opening stand for India in a chase, surpassing the 210‑run stand by Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan in the 2018 Asia Cup. India reached 200 runs in just 21.1 overs, the quickest ever for the team (Bhaskar report).

West Indies’ 405/7 was their first ever 400+ ODI total, achieved with centuries from John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Janghu (Bhaskar report). Before this match, India’s best successful chase stood at 360 runs against Australia in 2013. The chase of 406 therefore became the second highest successful run‑chase in ODI history, behind South Africa’s 438‑run chase of Australia in 2006.

Gill’s innings earned him his tenth Player of the Match award in ODIs, the most by any Indian player since 2022 (Bhaskar report). India also extended its record of consecutive ODI series wins over West Indies to 14, a new benchmark for any team against a single opponent (Bhaskar report).
