Run-machine Shubman Gill lights up Guwahati with World Record double century in 2nd ODI vs West Indies

India captain Shubman Gill scripted a World Record after smashing a historic double century in the second ODI against West India in Guwahati on September 30. He record the fastest-ever double century in the history of ODI cricket.

The record-shattering effort reached its peak when Gill brought up his double-ton in just 117 deliveries, obliterating Ishan Kishan’s previous record (126 balls against Bangladesh in 2022) for the fastest double-century in 50-over history. Blazing through the West Indies attack in Guwahati, Gill's boundary-laden masterclass put an exclamation point on a historic night for Indian cricket.

Entering the elite company of Rohit Sharma as only the second Indian batter to boast multiple 50-over double-hundreds, Gill added his name to cricket lore with this historic feat. But the Indian skipper did not stop at simply reaching the milestone, he eclipsed Glenn Maxwell's legendary 201-run World Cup knock against Afghanistan to claim the absolute highest individual score ever recorded in an ODI run-chase.
