India beat West Indies by 8 wickets
Over and out from Guwahati - And... breathe. India have clinched the series 2-0 with still a game to go. Both teams will now travel to New Chandigarh for the 3rd and final ODI. India will aim for a series sweep and West Indies would be eager to dust this off and come back stronger to salvage pride. It will be played on Saturday, 3rd October, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 8.30 am GMT (2 pm IST). But as usual, our buildup begins in advance. So do tune in for that as well. But for now, you can feel free to switch tabs and get all the updates from the ongoing third ODI between South Africa and Australia in Potchefstroom. Cheers!
An epic in glittering gold - 812 runs scored across both innings, including four centurions and one double centurion, taking batting to a whole different galactic level. Well over a hundred boundaries were smashed along the way, with no corner of the park left untouched. We have just witnessed one of the most historic cricket matches ever played. Guwahati has never been kind to West Indies. Back in 2018, they failed to defend 322 here, blown away by a magnanimous 246-run partnership from Ro-Ko. Tonight, they were taken apart while defending 405, blown away by Gill's brilliance. So where do they go from here, and what more could they really have done? There is no simple answer, but somewhere in the middle of it all. They will need to find far greater intensity when it comes to picking up wickets and containing run flow with the ball. With the bat, though, West Indies have developed a genuinely strong crop of players stepping up alongside captain Shai Hope. Campbell and Jangoo, in particular, have done enough to cement their place in this ODI setup, and more importantly, neither is a one-dimensional player. They may have lost the series, but these positives will count for a lot as they head into the World Cup qualifiers next year.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Without a doubt, it's Shubman Gill, the Indian captain, who takes home the award for his record-breaking and historic 223* (133). Gill says that every part of his body is cramping up right now. Says that after fielding for 13 overs in the afternoon, it felt like being on the field for 20-25 overs, the way West Indies were batting. Gill says chasing 400 was never going to be easy, regardless of the pitch or conditions, and he was proud of the team's effort to stay in the contest and finish unbeaten. He explains that he broke the chase into smaller targets, aiming for 75-80 runs in the Powerplay without losing a wicket and around 200-210 by the 25-over mark. They were ahead of that target at 230-240, which he felt shifted the pressure back onto West Indies. Gill admits they did not bowl as well as they would have liked during the Powerplay, much like in the first game, allowing West Indies to bat freely. At one stage, he felt the Windies could have reached 420-430, so restricting them by 20-30 runs at the back end was a bonus. Looking ahead to the next game, Gill says India may look to give opportunities to players who have not featured yet and will assess which combination suits them best.
The captain of West Indies - On his assessment of this game, Shai Hope giggles a bit and then says there are a lot of positives to take from this game, to be very honest. He highlights the batting first, pointing out that the side has now put up competitive totals consistently. On the bowling, he acknowledges the margin for error shrinks to almost nothing against some of the greatest batters in the world, and giving them any kind of start makes life extremely difficult. Still, he is fair in giving credit where it is due, while admitting his side probably needed to be a touch tighter with the ball to give themselves a real chance after posting 400 on the board. On losing wickets in quick succession, like the previous ODI, Hope says it was not quite the same story today. He credits the side for laying down the foundation well, something they had specifically spoken about over the last couple of days, with the focus on keeping wickets in hand heading into the back end of the innings. He identifies the spinners as the main threat through the middle phase, which made building that platform all the more important. On introducing Vitel Lawes late in the innings, Hope puts it down to a bit of both. He shares that he did not want to hand the youngster the hardest overs to bowl, especially on his first tour to India. The priority, he says, was making Lawes feel as confident as possible given the occasion. He is pleased to see someone so young step up and do the job for the team, bowling really well in the process. While there is plenty still to learn, Hope is confident the youngster will only keep getting better from here.
... The post-match Presentation ...
In conversation with one of the five centurions - Rohit Sharma says that the celebration after getting to the hundred was for himself, and some things are not meant to be shared. Rohit mentions the good batting conditions allowed him and Shubman Gill to focus on building a big partnership rather than worrying about the scoreboard. He feels Gill was in complete control throughout his innings and was pleased to see him remain unbeaten at the end. Rohit shares that opening the innings after spending 50 overs in the field in hot and humid conditions was challenging, but he relied on his experience to maintain his concentration and not give his wicket away. He says they knew they needed runs from the top order and believes their 250-plus opening partnership effectively sealed the game, allowing them to finish on a high. Rohit Sharma says Ravindra Jadeja was curious about the celebration he performed after reaching his century. He told him he would explain it in the dressing room, adding that the celebration was something personal to him. He reveals that Jadeja suggested an elaborate celebration involving a slide and a jump, but after spending 50 overs in the field and then batting for around 25-30 overs, Rohit joked that he was never going to attempt it.
A batting onslaught by the Men in Maroon - On a placid surface, the Indian bowlers were taken apart by a rampant West Indies top order, with three of their top four batters raising hundreds. Campbell laid the platform, unleashing his full repertoire of shots, before Hope and Jangoo added a marathon 182-run stand for the third wicket that squeezed the life out of the Indian attack. Hope rode his luck too, surviving two drops, and made the hosts pay heavily for both. India struck late with a flurry of quick wickets, but it was nowhere near enough to stop West Indies crossing 400, their highest ever ODI total. India's attack was left short-handed as well, with Krishna and Dhir both forced off the field through injury. Jadeja, Kuldeep and Brar picked up two apiece, though the damage was already done by then, while Auqib Nabi endured a forgettable debut with the ball, going wicketless and leaking runs freely.
Plans fell flat - Shai Hope had said after the previous game that West Indies were 60 to 80 runs short of truly testing the Indian batting lineup. This time, they piled up a mammoth 405, a total that should have been mathematically impossible to overhaul, until this evening proved otherwise. For the second game running, though, they have found no answer to stemming the flow of runs, failing to pick up more than two wickets in either match. They simply caved under pressure, and no one remotely looked threatening enough to even create a half chance. Seales and the young 19-year-old Lawes did show flashes of brilliance, but the tourists failed to put together a complete bowling performance.
An Everest scaled - A 92-run powerplay in this mammoth chase set the tone early, with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill taking the bowlers apart from the outset, with both Indian openers eventually converting those starts into centuries. In fairness, though, the bowling from the West Indies pacers, barring Seales, was far too leaky to hold India back. Rohit eventually fell for 101, and the likes of Kohli and Gaikwad chipped in with valuable runs of their own, Gaikwad remaining unbeaten on 31, a timely reminder to the selectors that he is there if needed. But the evening belonged to Shubman Gill in every sense. He took the responsibility upon himself and simply went hell for leather, refusing to let the bowlers settle for even an over, and turned what was already a record chase into a personal coronation.
The crowning of a Prince - If you tuned in from the very first ball today, you have just witnessed batsmanship in its purest form. Everything was on show, from raw power-hitting to textbook cricket, a full range unleashed by the batters of both sides throughout the day. But it is the Indian captain who makes the headlines, standing at the very peak of his powers as he coasts India home to a historic win. This is India's highest successful run chase in the history of ODIs. And they do it, making an absolute mockery of 406, chasing it down with 39 balls remaining. Shubman Gill stands out as the brightest star of Indian cricket's future, and his era begins right here. His appetite for runs was simply ridiculous to watch. Run after run, boundary after boundary, with every shot somehow topping the previous one. He has strolled past so many records by becoming the fastest batter to score an ODI double century.
A story for the ages - This is a chase that will be told and retold for years to come. The ones young enough to have watched it live will grow up narrating it to their own children one day, painting the picture of a night when 406 looked like nothing at all. Those who have followed this game longer, who remember an era when chasing 250 felt like a mountain, will struggle to place this innings anywhere close to the cricket they grew up on. Somewhere in between sit those who will simply call it one of the greatest chases in cricket they have ever witnessed, full stop, no comparisons needed.

DOUBLE HUNDRED FOR SHUBMAN GILL! Take a bow, skipper! A magnificent innings reaches a remarkable landmark as Gill brings up his double century in just 117 balls, making it the fastest 200 in ODI history. He also joins Rohit Sharma as only the second batter to register more than one ODI double hundred. Gill punches the air in delight before placing his helmet on top of his bat and raising it high to soak in the moment. A special milestone for the Indian captain, and one that has been built on a stunning display of control and class. Coming to the delivery, it is quicker, full and on middle. Gill drives it firmly down to long on and picks up the single that takes him to the unforgettable milestone.

Is there any twist left in this game? India have lost two big wickets and now Gill's presence becomes really crucial for the hosts as they need 86 runs to win. Kohli's wicket brings Ruturaj Gaikwad to the crease at number 4.

Shamar Joseph To Virat Kohli OUT!
OUT! TAKEN SUPERBLY IN THE DEEP! Shamar Joseph strikes, and there is a hush of silence in Guwahati. Joseph bangs this into the pitch, just outside off. Virat Kohli sways away from the line of it and upper cuts it, but does not get the elevation he wanted. It flies towards third man, where Sherfane Rutherford moves to his left and grabs it. He takes a couple of steps to balance himself, realises he is still going to go over the ropes. He flicks the ball up in the air and comes back to complete the catch. The third umpire sees the replay and it confirms that it is a fair catch. India are 320/2, chasing 406 runs.
Has Rutherford caught it cleanly? The decision is sent upstairs for an umpire's review. Kohli is trudging off already, but he is asked to stay until the verdict is passed. One angle is not conclusive and the umpire requests another. And it is deemed a clean catch as Rutherford's legs weren't in contact with the ropes while holding the ball in hand.
India need just 86 runs from 108 balls. Shamar Joseph (4-0-40-0) is back on, replacing Jayden Seales.

Jayden Seales To Rohit Sharma OUT!
OUT! LBW! At long last, a wicket for the West Indies and fittingly, it is Seales, the most disciplined bowler on the park tonight, to get it. He spears in a length ball, attacking the stumps. It lands and nips in a touch. Rohit Sharma plays all around it as he gets cramped for space and the ball strikes the pads. A lengthy appeal for LBW from Seales and up goes the finger. Rohit has immediately sent it upstairs, but the Windies players look very confident. And if there's no bat involved, it looks pretty straight. UltraEdge presents a flat line when the ball is next/close to the bat. Ball Tracking confirms three reds with the ball hitting the top of the middle and leg stumps. The on-field decision is upheld, and got to say, that was a fabulous decision by Sharfuddoula Saikat. Guwahati rises to acknowledge a blistering knock from Rohit Sharma. India are 255/1, needing 151 runs to win.

CENTURY FOR ROHIT SHARMA! Number 45 brings up hundred number 35 in ODI cricket, and there are scenes of pure celebration at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. This is Rohit's fourth ODI century against West Indies, and there is history attached too. He plundered a mammoth 152 on this very ground, against this very opposition, back in 2018, also while chasing a big total. This time, India are chasing a total way more than that, but they are very much bossing this up now. He completes the milestone with a hop and a jog, tapping a length ball into the off side for a single. The crowd erupts, and his teammates are up on their feet back in the dressing room.
We have reached the halfway mark. Despite having over 400, India are absolutely cruising along in this chase, with both openers making it look easy. Shubman Gill has already notched up a hundred, while Rohit Sharma is just one run away from his milestone. West Indies are running out of answers here.

Carty, stationed at deep square leg for precisely that opportunity, dives forward and gets both hands to it, only to see the chance burst out of his grasp.

CENTURY FOR SHUBMAN GILL! The Indian skipper goes back-to-back to notch his 11th ODI century, and this one arrives off just 62 balls. He is batting in a different stratosphere altogether, making a habit of turning starts into massive scores. The milestone comes with a gracious flick through the mid-wicket gap, perfectly bisecting the deep mid-wicket and deep square leg fielders for a boundary. Just a gentle raise of his bat to acknowledge the applause, and he gets a warm hug from Rohit, who is inching towards a century of his own. Still, a very long way to go, but he has set up a superb platform for his side.
India have smashed 96 runs in the 11-20 over phase. And they are well ahead of their opponents at 188/0 in 20 overs. At the same stage, West Indies were 158/2. West Indies desperately need a wicket here.

Vitel Lawes To Shubman Gill
Tossed up, full and on middle, Shubman Gill eases it down to long on for a single.
With 169/0 on the board in just 17 overs, Vitel Lawes is brought into the attack, replacing Roston Chase. He is just 19 years old and a lot has been already talked about him and his skills. Can he provide the first breakthrough for the tourists? Sometimes an unknown commodity like him can really cause problems for the batters.

Keemo Paul To Rohit Sharma
Fuller and on the pads, Rohit Sharma glances it to deep fine for a single.
Drinks Break! Rohit and Gill have helped India to get off to a blistering start in this historically mammoth run chase. So far the bowling from West Indies has been strictly ordinary, with dew starting to settle in gradually. Both the Indian openers have literally dined on anything remotely loose. But it's still a long, long way to go as India still require 285 runs to win. The tourists will desperately try to get a wicket or two as quickly as possible to slow things down a bit. And in such chases, one or two quick wickets are enough to derail the whole momentum. India, on the other hand, will have to keep attacking with no other option to overhaul this target. All things said, this has been a superb batting track. Keemo Paul is back on. He was smashed for 17 runs in his only over so far. He replaces Shamar Joseph.

A slight appeal for LBW, but not entertained by the umpire. Only Seales looks interested. Possibly going down leg or missing leg stump on height. On a back of a length, angled around the leg stump, Rohit Sharma looks to work it into the leg side but plays over the wrong line and is hit on the thigh pad. Don't think there was bat involved. And indeed. The ball in fact hit Rohit's back thigh pad and the Ball Tracking later shows it would have missed the leg stump on height as well.

Jayden Seales To Shubman Gill
Swings away from the batter, on a length, on top of off. Gill is squared up as he looks to defend it down but gets an outside edge and the ball rolls to deep third for a single.

Jayden Seales To Shubman Gill
FOUR! Not convincing, but they all count. Fuller one, on the stumps, Shubman Gill looks to play it in the V, but gets it off the inner half of the bat and into the square leg gap for a boundary.

Jayden Seales To Shubman Gill
Good areas from Seales! In and around the off stump line, on a good length, shaping away. Shubman Gill gets squared up and has a loose poke at it, with the ball zipping past his outside edge.

Alzarri Joseph To Rohit Sharma
FOUR! CRRRRUNCHED AWAY! Short from Joseph, outside the off stump. Rohit is onto it in a flash, stands tall and crisply cuts it through cover-point gap for a cracking boundary.

Alzarri Joseph To Rohit Sharma
Fuller now, tighter on the stumps, Sharma watchfully blocks it to the off side.

Alzarri Joseph To Rohit Sharma
TOP EDGE, SIX! Alzarri cannons it on a good length, around off, climbing on the batter. Rohit Sharma is a bit late on the pull shot and gets a fat top edge. The ball balloons up and sails over the deep third fence for half a dozen runs. That certainly took Rohit by surprise.

Alzarri Joseph To Rohit Sharma
FOUR! Gracious stroke! Short of a length, wide outside off, Rohit Sharma rides the bounce and square cuts it behind square on the off side for a boundary. It rapidly goes to the fence.

Alzarri Joseph To Rohit Sharma
Gets a decent outswing, fullish and outside off. Rohit is not interested in play at that.
Alzarri Joseph will take the other new ball.

Jayden Seales To Shubman Gill
FOUR! So nearly chopped on! Luck favours Gill here. On a back of a length, outside the off stump line. Shubman Gill looks to cut it square on the off side, but gets a massive inside edge and the ball bounces past the stumps before rifling towards the deep fine leg fence. Perhaps the line was too close to cut and it skid through the urface too. So 8 runs off the first over.

Jayden Seales To Shubman Gill
Short of a length, 137.8 kph, outside off, Gill loosely punches it off the back foot to the backward point region. The ball goes on the bounce to Roston Chase as he dives to his right but parries it to the deep for a couple of runs. The Indian skipper is off the mark as well.

Jayden Seales To Shubman Gill
WIDE! Tries to swing the ball back into the batter on a length, but it goes straight on and down leg. Gill leaves it alone.

Jayden Seales To Rohit Sharma
A fumble and India are off the mark, so does Rohit. Back of a length, shaping away, outside off, Rohit taps it off the back foot to the right of the backward point fielder where a slight fumble allows him to dash off for a single.
Rohit Sharma is not happy with something. It was probably the smoke going off behind the bowler, just after he delivered the ball.

Jayden Seales To Rohit Sharma
Good carry and Seales is on the money! Jayden gets the ball to swing away from the batter, on a good length, but wide outside off. Rohit lets it through to the keeper.
