Shubman Gill produced a remarkable unbeaten 223, his personal best in ODIs, to guide India to their highest-ever successful chase in the format. India reached 406/2, comfortably surpassing the West Indies' imposing total of 405/7. This high-scoring encounter saw over 800 runs, highlighted by three centuries from the West Indies batsmen: John Campbell (101), Shai Hope (104), and Amir Jangoo (114), marking a first for West Indies in an ODI innings.
The crowd at Barsapara Cricket Stadium initially gathered hoping to see Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli play together, perhaps for the last time at the venue. Rohit Sharma marked the occasion with his 35th ODI century and surpassed 12,000 runs in the format, joining an elite group of Indian batsmen. Virat Kohli also made a significant contribution with 29 runs before being dismissed.
However, it was Shubman Gill who truly stole the spotlight, turning the chase into a personal masterclass. His extraordinary double century ensured a memorable victory for India, etching a new Guwahati memory that transcended the initial expectations of witnessing the established stars.
