IND vs WI: Highlights 2nd ODI At Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
- India win!!! The second ever to chase a 400+ total, and they do it with 39 balls to spare. Shubman Gill stays unbeaten at 233 (133). India win the series.
- Shubman Gill reaches his second ODI double ton. The Indian captain reaches the milestone in 117 balls. The fastest-ever double ton in history. He is only the second player to reach the milestone in a run-chase after Glenn Maxwell. His 2nd double ton in the format; only Rohit Sharma (3) has multiple instances of reaching the milestone before.LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- Shamar Joseph gets rid of Kohli after a quick-fire 29 off 19 as India lose their second wicket. They are still in control in the run chase with captain Shubman Gill closing in on a double century. India need 86 runs off 106 balls as Ruturaj Gaikwad joins his skipper in the middle. LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- Kohli and Gill have already added more than 50 runs for the second wicket in no time as India cruise to the mammoth 406-run chase in Guwahati. The West Indian shoulders are dropping, and it is now pretty much India’s match to lose. The Men in Blue have already won the first ODI at Thiruvananthapuram, and a win here will give them an unassailable lead in the 3-match series. Gill is pushing towards a double-century at the other end. LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- Wicket! Jayden Seales at last breaks through for the West Indies. Rohit Sharma walks back into the dressing room as Guwahati rises on its feet to celebrate an exceptional knock. Although it looked a little high on impact, the on-field umpire thought otherwise, and DRS confirmed that it was just clipping the bails. India lose their first wicket as Virat Kohli makes his way into the middle to join Shubman Gill. IND 255/1 (26.2) vs WI 405/7 (50)
- Another ODI match. Another ODI hundred. Rohit Sharma brings up his 35th century with such ease — only he can match it. The West Indians are running out of ideas here. Both Rohit and India captain Shubman Gill, who is now closing in on 150, are going all guns blazing. At the moment, they are making short work of this tall 406-run chase in Guwahati. It is an absolute masterclass from both the Indian batters. LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- Shubman Gill has raced to his 11th international century in just 62 balls. This has been an exceptional knock. What’s more, it keeps India in the hunt for a record run-chase in Guwahati. Two back-to-back hundreds from the India captain. Rohit Sharma, at the other end, is not far behind. He has already reached his eighties, and if he doesn’t do anything silly, there is another hundred loading for him and India. For the West Indies, they need wickets, and to begin with, they need to break this partnership. LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- Rohit Sharma reaches 12,000 ODI runs. This came after Virat Kohli reached 15,000 ODI runs in the first ODI of the three-match series in Thiruvananthapuram. Two incredible players and an equally incredible white-ball record.
- There is a reason why India captain Shubman Gill is the No. 1 ODI batter in world cricket. Following Rohit Sharma’s lead, he has reached his fifty in style, and both Indian openers are giving the West Indian bowlers a good hiding at the moment. This is a terrific wicket to bat on, and while both the Indian batters have looked in great touch, spare a thought for the bowlers. There is nothing on it for them. LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- Rohit Sharma brings up his fifty in style as India continue to pile on the runs in the first ten overs of the field restrictions. With Shubman Gill providing good company, India have achieved what they sought, and with the likes of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the ranks, the Men in Blue would fancy their chances of pulling off an extraordinary record run-chase. At the moment, they are ahead of the required run rate. LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma have upped the ante significantly in the last couple of overs, with India going a little over 9 runs per over in the run chase after 8 overs. The West Indian bowlers, although they have gone past the bat a couple of times, are yet to secure their first breakthrough as the hosts aim to keep up with the required run rate.
- The two Indian openers, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, have started off well in pursuit of West Indies’ 406. There have been a couple of lucky boundaries, with Gill getting an inside edge that raced to the fence and Rohit top-edging a pull that went all the way. India would want to keep the tempo, while West Indies would aim to strike early to dent India’s chase. LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- West Indies have recorded their highest total in ODIs, surpassing their previous best of 389 against England, courtesy of centuries from John Campbell, Shai Hope, and Amir Jangoo on a wicket that looks like a batting paradise. After being sent in to bat, the visitors reached 405/7 in 50 overs. For India, Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the bowlers, returning with figures of 2 for 65, while Gurnoor Brar and Prasidh Krishna also found themselves among the wickets. India will have to record their highest chase if they are to entertain any hopes of winning the match.
- Now Jangoo departs. This is a great phase of play for the Indians. Jadeja gets his first wicket of the match. West Indies, once again, are in danger of losing their way in the fag end of the innings. India continue to pick up wickets at regular intervals. The visitors have now lost three in quick succession, giving India hope of keeping West Indies below the 400-run mark. LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- Hope’s only attempt — possibly to launch Kuldeep Yadav out of the park — ends in his own downfall as West Indies lose their third wicket. A brilliant century comes to an end. Just as we write this, new batter Sherfane Rutherford now has to take the long walk back to the dressing room. One brings two for India. Twin centuries for West Indies followed by twin strikes by India. Brar gets his second wicket of the match. India fighting back here.
- So no respite for the Indian bowlers. Shai Hope reaches his 20th international hundred, while Amir Jangoo races to his second international century. Anything less than 400, and the West Indies will have every reason to be disappointed in themselves. For India, Kuldeep Yadav has been the most economical bowler, though he remains wicketless so far. West Indies have only looked to milk him for runs rather than going for the big shots. India certainly have their work cut out here. LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo have already added more than 100 runs to the third-wicket partnership and are looking to take West Indies well past the 350-run mark, which would be their first target. The Indians are running out of ideas here, with no bowler other than Kuldeep Yadav going at less than 6 runs per over. Auqib Nabi, Prasidh Krishna and Gurnoor Brar have all gone for plenty as India stare at a massive run-chase. LIVE SCORE | IND vs WI
- Campbell departs after a well-made century. Gurnoor Brar gets India the breakthrough as West Indies lose their second wicket. Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo would look to consolidate and capitalise on the good start. The hosts, on the other hand, would aim to pick up wickets at regular intervals to choke the flow of runs.
- West Indies got off to a great start after India had sent them to bat in Guwahati. John Campbell and Keacy Carty once again took the visitors off to a flyer. Prasidh Krishna broke the opening stand by sending Carty packing. With West Indies captain Shai Hope at the crease with half-centurion Campbell, the visitors are well on course for a big total.
