GROS ISLET, SAINT LUCIA — Fans were treated to an extraordinary spectacle on Wednesday, September 30, as India and the West Indies set multiple world records in a historic second One Day International (ODI).
Batting first, the West Indies posted a monumental total of 405 for 7—their highest-ever ODI team total. The landmark effort marked the first time in ODI history that three West Indies batters scored centuries in a single innings, led by Amir Jangoo (114), Shai Hope (104), and John Campbell (101).
Despite the record-setting first-innings total, India completed a relentless run chase, reaching 406 for 2 to secure an 8-wicket victory. The run-chase stands as India’s highest successful pursuit and the second-highest in ODI history.
A record-shattering 255-run opening partnership between skipper Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma anchored India’s response. Gill headlined the chase with an undefeated 223, recording the fastest double-century in ODI history off just 117 deliveries, while Sharma contributed a fluent 101.
