On September 30, 2026, India captain Shubman Gill hit another memorable six to add to his already imprinted comeback as the country’s leader during the second ODI against West Indies in Guwahati, and it had a place in an energizing showreel recorded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The six was part of Gill’s remarkable innings where the batter scored an unbeaten 223 runs in just 133 balls as India successfully chased down a massive target of 406. He struck 26 fours and eight sixes during his knock as India won the match by eight wickets with 39 balls remaining.
Gill Takes Charge in Guwahati
India chased down West Indies 405/7 – the first time in ODIs that India had ever conceded more than 400 runs. In the first innings, John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo all scored hundreds as the visitors piled on the pressure.
But India was no less than the host. Gill batted with Rohit Sharma at the top of the order, and the duo went on the offensive against West Indies bowlers. Rohit slammed a 101 off just 72 balls while the opening duo put on an impressive 255 runs.
Gill followed that with Rohit’s wicket and went on the offensive. His assaulting strokeplay, including the six earmarked by the BCCI, was one of the characteristics of India’s successful chase.
Record-Breaking Double Century
Eventually, though, Gill’s innings became one of the ODI classics of his career. The century came up in a mere 62 balls as he upped the ante on his way to a second ODI double ton. Of those 200, just 117 deliveries were used up, meaning it was the quickest ever double century in men’s ODI cricket according to records from the match.
With this milestone, Gill made history as the only second-ever batter to score multiple ODI double centuries after Rohit Sharma. His last of a blistering 223 not out went past various ODI milestones and led India to the second-highest successful men’s ODI run-chase in history.
India Seal ODI Series
With this win, India takes a 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against West Indies. BCCI had planned to host the second ODI on 30 September in Guwahati and the third ODI on 3 October in New Chandigarh.
It was more than just another hundred for Gill in the match. In his role as ODI captain for India, he displayed a mix of strong leadership and a phenomenal personal performance to steer the team through an unprecedented challenge.
It was one of those undoubtedly explosive moments from an innings that basically ruled the Guwahati run-fest, like BCCI’s video on “Shubman Gill Six”. Gill scored 223 not out and emerged as the star of a run chase that, in another stunning chapter of his short ODI career, handed India an unimpressive win.
