Indian captain Shubman Gill was on a rampage on Wednesday (Sep 30) in Guwahati, smashing a sensational unbeaten 223* against the West Indies in the second ODI. Alongside Rohit Sharma, who also completed his 35th ODI hundred, scoring a blistering 101, Gill added 255 for the opening wicket, setting the tone for a historic and memorable run chase. While India completed its highest ODI run chase by chasing 405 with eight wickets remaining and breaking plenty of team records on its way, Gill’s second One-Day double century made headlines.

Gill’s 223* now stands as the highest score by a captain in an ODI game.
