My Take: This Was More Than a Match – It Was a Statement
In an era where T20 cricket dominates the narrative, the 2nd ODI between India and West Indies in Guwahati served as a reminder of just how spectacular the 50-over format can be. Five centuries in a single match. A 406-run chase completed with 39 balls to spare. A 255-run opening stand. This was ODI cricket at its absolute best.
Rohit Sharma’s return to form is the story that will dominate headlines, and rightly so. His 101 off 75 balls was a throwback to the Rohit of old – fearless, elegant, and destructive. The four-year wait for an ODI century ended in style, and his 12,000th ODI run was a fitting milestone.
But the night belonged to Shubman Gill. His 223* off 133 balls was an innings of the highest quality – controlled aggression, impeccable timing, and a hunger for runs that is reminiscent of a young Virat Kohli. The captain led from the front, and his 255-run partnership with Rohit was the cornerstone of India’s historic chase.
West Indies deserve immense credit. They posted their first-ever 400+ total in ODIs, with centuries from Campbell, Hope, and Jangoo. For large parts of the match, they were the better team. But India’s batting depth and firepower proved too much in the end.
Kuldeep Yadav’s 200th ODI wicket was a quiet achievement in the midst of the batting carnage, but it underlined his importance to this Indian team. He is now the fastest Indian spinner to the milestone, and his spell was crucial in slowing West Indies’ momentum.
This match will be remembered for years. It was a night when records tumbled, when the impossible became possible, and when ODI cricket reminded the world why it remains the most complete format of the game.
