India captain Shubman Gill created history on Wednesday, becoming only the second batter in the history of ODI cricket to score multiple double-centuries in the format.
Gill reached the milestone in the 39th over, during India's mammoth chase of 406 runs in the second ODI against West Indies in Guwahati.
Before Gill, only Rohit Sharma (3) had two or more double hundreds in the 50-over format. Rohit has three double centuries to his name.
Gill snatched the fastest ODI double hundred from Ishan Kishan, who took 126 balls to get that feat. It was also only the second time a player scored a double hundred in a run chase after that freak knock by Glenn Maxwell against Afghanistan in 2023 World Cup.
