Shubman Gill Breaks Multiple ODI Records With Historic 223* Against West Indies

Gill reached his double century in only 117 balls, breaking Ishan Kishan’s record for the fastest ODI double century. Kishan had reached 200 in 126 balls.

Shubman Gill Becomes First Captain to Score Double Centuries in Both Tests and ODIs

Gill broke Virender Sehwag’s record for the highest individual score by an ODI captain. Sehwag had scored 219 against the West Indies in 2011.

The right-hander also became the fastest Indian captain to score an ODI century. He reached his hundred in just 62 balls, edging past Rohit Sharma’s previous mark of 63 balls.

With this innings, Gill joined Rohit Sharma as only the second batter to score more than one double century in men’s ODI cricket.

His 223* also moved him to third on the list of the highest individual scores in ODI history. Only Rohit Sharma’s 264 and Martin Guptill’s unbeaten 237 remain ahead of Gill.

Gill’s innings was built around clean hitting and strong running between the wickets as India mounted a record chase of 406 against the West Indies.
