India chases 406 in record-breaking ODI victory over West Indies

India completed a remarkable chase of 406 runs against West Indies in Guwahati, achieving the feat in 43.3 overs with eight wickets in hand. The successful pursuit marks only the second instance in One Day International cricket history of a team successfully chasing a target exceeding 400 runs.

Shubman Gill's explosive unbeaten knock of 223 runs formed the cornerstone of India's chase, while opening partner Rohit Sharma contributed a century of his own, scoring 101 runs. The match produced five centuries across both innings, highlighting the aggressive batting display throughout the encounter.

Gill's exceptional innings shattered several ODI records. The right-hander's 223-run unbeaten partnership and individual performance set new benchmarks for Indian cricket, establishing him among the elite performers in high-scoring ODI chases. His aggressive approach accelerated India's pursuit significantly, allowing the home team to overcome West Indies' first-innings total of 405 runs.

The successful chase demonstrated India's batting depth and aggressive intent in the limited-overs format. Both Gill and Sharma's performances underscore India's growing dominance in ODI cricket, particularly in high-pressure chasing situations. The victory also marks a significant milestone in India's pursuit of 400-plus targets, a feat previously achieved only once in international cricket.
