The Indian team has created history in the exciting match played at Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. On the basis of captain Shubman Gill's record double century and Rohit Sharma's brilliant century, India made its biggest run chase in ODI cricket history and defeated West Indies by 8 wickets and captured the series. Batting first, West Indies had set a mountain-like score of 405 runs for India, which Team India achieved at the loss of 2 wickets in just 43.3 overs.
Earlier in the match, West Indies, who came to bat first after losing the toss, had a very aggressive start. John Campbell (101), captain Shai Hope (104) and Aamir Jangu (114) played brilliant century innings and for the first time in ODI cricket, West Indies scored more than 400 against India. The Indian bowling attack seemed to be struggling a lot during this period, where the young bowlers conceded a lot of runs in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. However, spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja tried to control things to some extent and Kuldeep also completed 200 wickets in his ODI career.
On behalf of the Indian team, which came to chase the target, captain Shubman Gill scored a historic double century by hitting fours and sixes all around the field. Supporting him, experienced batsman Rohit Sharma also scored a brilliant century and completed 12,000 runs in his ODI career. Rohit has become the third batsman from the country to achieve such a milestone. Caribbean bowling looked completely helpless in front of this stormy partnership of Gill and Rohit and India easily won the match.
