Delhi: In the second ODI played between India and West Indies at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday, Team India created such a storm of batting, which changed a big record of ODI cricket. The Indian team achieved the target of 406 runs with 39 balls remaining at the loss of just 2 wickets. During this record run-chase, Team India created a series of records.

The special thing was that India completed 300 runs in just 29.1 overs.

That is, India touched the figure of 300 in just 175 balls and became the first team in the world to reach the score of 300 in less than 30 overs in ODI cricket. Earlier this record was in the name of South Africa, which had completed 300 runs in 32.2 overs against Australia in Johannesburg in 2006.

Rohit-Gil created havoc in the first 10 overs

Rohit Sharma started India's run-chase in his own style. In the powerplay itself, he started putting pressure on the West Indies bowlers. The pair of Rohit and Gill added 255 runs for the first wicket.

During this partnership, both the batsmen completed the opening partnership of 100 runs in just the 12th over. This was the ninth century partnership of Rohit and Gill together in 44 innings.

200 in 21.1 overs, India broke its own record

Rohit and Gill's attack did not stop here. The Indian team completed 200 runs in just 21.1 overs. With this, India also broke the record of scoring its fastest 200 runs in ODI.

During this period, Gill was continuously scoring runs at a fast pace. He completed his century in just 62 balls and became the fastest Indian to score a century in ODI against West Indies.

Rohit also scored a century in 72 balls

On the other end, Rohit Sharma also did not lag behind. Hitman completed his century in 72 balls. This was his second fastest century in ODI cricket.

Rohit had earlier scored a century in just 63 balls against Afghanistan in 2023. In Guwahati, he played an inning of 101 runs in 75 balls, in which there was heavy rain of fours and sixes.

Record partnership of 255 runs

The pair of Rohit and Gill also crossed the 250-run mark. During this, both of them also created a new record for the biggest opening partnership in ODI for India.

However, Rohit was out after scoring 101 runs in 26.2 overs. After this, Virat Kohli came to the crease and along with Gill did not allow the pace of scoring to slow down.

300 runs in 29.1 overs

Gill hit a six and then a four off Jaden Seals in the 29th over. In the next over, he hit a four off Vital Loss and took India's score to 300 runs in 29.1 overs. At that time Gill was unbeaten on 171 runs in 98 balls, while Virat Kohli was supporting him by scoring 18 runs on 10 balls.

India reached the 300-run mark 3.1 overs earlier than the old record.

Earlier, South Africa had scored 300 runs in 32.2 overs. Now the stormy batting of Rohit and Gill in Guwahati has left that record behind.
