Guwahati, September 30 saw Team India captain Shubman Gill etch his name in the history books as he became the swiftest to score a double century in men's ODI cricket. Gill achieved this monumental feat against West Indies in the second ODI match held at Guwahati on Wednesday, surpassing the previous record of 126 balls set by Ishan Kishan.

Gill's record-breaking double century of 200 was orchestrated in just 117 balls, setting a new benchmark in the sport. This achievement makes Gill only the second batsman after Rohit Sharma to score multiple double centuries in ODI cricket.

Chris Gayle, a West Indies legend, held the record for the fastest double century with 138 balls against Zimbabwe in February 2015.
