Gill and Rohit flip the script - 'After the powerplay, the pressure wasn't on us'
The India captain scored his second ODI double-century and shared a 255-run opening partnership with Rohit Sharma, who scored a 75-ball 101 himself
India captain Shubman Gill etched his name in ODI cricket history on Wednesday, becoming the second player to achieve multiple double-centuries in the format. Gill achieved this feat in just the 39th over of India's chase for 406 runs against West Indies in Guwahati. Prior to this milestone, only Rohit Sharma had accomplished two or more double centuries in ODI cricket, with a total of three such innings to his name.
Gill also claimed the fastest ODI double hundred, surpassing Ishan Kishan, who took 126 balls to reach the same milestone. This historic double hundred was the second recorded in a run chase, following Glenn Maxwell's extraordinary knock against Afghanistan during the 2023 World Cup.
