Indian smashes fastest-ever ODI double century in huge run chase

Indian batter Shubman Gill has set a new record by becoming the fastest player to score a double century in One Day Internationals (ODIs). Gill reached an unbeaten 223 off just 133 balls, surpassing the previous record. The Indian team chased down West Indies' total of 405 runs with 39 balls to spare. This victory marked the second time India had chased a target of 400 or more in an ODI match, adding to their impressive performance in the three-match series in Guwahati.

Gill's century also came just two days after he scored his first-ever ODI double century against New Zealand.
