Kamboj replaces injured Prasidh for final India vs West Indies ODI

Prasidh Krishna picked up a hamstring strain during the second ODI against West Indies and could be a doubt for the first round of the Ranji Trophy too

GUWAHATI: Shubman Gill etched his name in the annals of ODI cricket history on Wednesday by posting the fastest double century in the shortest space of balls. The Indian opener, Shubman Gill, smashed 223 runs off 133 balls, including 28 fours and 8 sixes, in a breathtaking display of batting prowess. Gill's innings surpassed Ishan Kishan's previous record of 126-ball double century against Bangladesh and set him behind only Rohit Sharma, who has three double centuries to his name.

The 223-run innings carried India to the target of West Indies' 406 with 39 balls to spare, ensuring an eight-wicket victory in the second ODI at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. The match also saw Rohit Sharma contribute with a magnificent 101, becoming the third Indian to reach the 12,000-run mark in ODI cricket.
