Prasidh Krishna took the remaining wicket, while Auqib Nabi finished without a wicket from his 8.5 overs. West Indies still made 96 runs during the mandatory powerplay, setting the tone for their huge total.
Kuldeep’s two wickets also brought a major personal milestone. He reached 200 ODI wickets in his 123rd game.
The milestone made him the fastest Indian spinner to reach 200 ODI wickets. He also became the third-fastest spinner overall and the ninth Indian bowler to reach 200 ODI wickets
India Complete Their Highest Successful ODI Chase
IIndia began the chase with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill at the crease. The opening pair quickly established control and put together a 255-run stand.
Their partnership came from 158 balls and became India’s highest opening partnership on home soil. Rohit eventually fell after scoring 101 from 75 balls.
Rohit struck 10 fours and six sixes at a strike rate of 134.67. His 35th ODI century also took him past 12,000 ODI runs.
At 39, Rohit became the oldest Indian batter to score an ODI century. Jayden Seales dismissed him leg before wicket in the 27th over.
Gill continued his innings after the opening stand broke and produced an unbeaten 223 from 133 balls. He struck 26 fours and eight sixes at a strike rate of 167.67.
He reached his double century from just 117 balls, setting the record for the fastest ODI double century. His 223* also became the highest individual score in a successful ODI chase.
Gill had earlier reached his century off 62 balls. So, it also became the fastest ODI hundred by an Indian captain. Not only that, but he also became the second batter in ODI history to register multiple ODI double centuries, alongside Rohit Sharma.
Virat Kohli then joined Gill after Rohit’s wicket and scored 29 from 19 balls. He hit three fours and one six before Shamar Joseph dismissed him in the 33rd over.
Gill found another partner in Ruturaj Gaikwad, who remained unbeaten on 31 from 37 balls. The pair added 86 runs to take India over the finish line.
India also reached 300 in only 29.1 overs, setting the record for the first team to Score ODI 300 Inside 30 Overs. They eventually reached 406/2 in 43.3 overs.
The chase became India’s highest successful ODI chase, surpassing their previous best of 362 against Australia in Jaipur in 2013. It also became the second-highest successful chase in men’s ODI history.
Only South Africa’s 438-run chase against Australia in Johannesburg in 2006 remains higher. India’s Guwahati chase therefore added another remarkable chapter to the record-filled contest.
