By: Tupaki Desk | 30 Sept 2026 10:29 PM ISTOne of the most entertaining games in international cricket was played between India and West Indies today as significant history has been created in the same. It was an absolute blockbuster from the start of the innings.
West Indies batted first, and they scored more than 400 runs and this happened to be the first time in the history that they scored as many runs in a single inning in ODI cricket.
It was expected that India would have a tough time chasing down this magnanimous target in the second innings, but it was an absolute fire show from Captain Shubman Gill.
Shubman Gill scored the fastest double century in the history of the game as he got to score in just 117 deliveries. He was absolutely brilliant with the bat, and West Indies bowlers had absolutely no answer to the kind of rampage that he created in the second innings.
This was substantiated by another brilliant century from Rohit Sharma, who is 37 years old, and still fighting for his position in the Indian team for the World Cup.
Also, this happens to be the highest successful run for India against West Indies as they were able to score more than 400 runs in the second Indians with multiple deliveries to spare as well. This is not just one of the biggest run chases in the history of the game, but is also one of the most entertaining matches in recent times.
This match has not created history by becoming the second highest run chase in the history of the ODI format. The kind of dominant that India had displayed in the second innings was such that a target of more than 400 was chased with more than six overs to spare.
