India won by eight wickets with 39 balls remaining as Shubman Gill’s magnificent 223 powered them past West Indies’ 405/7 in the second ODI on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. Named Player of the Match, Gill spearheaded a chase that finished at 406/2 in 43.3 overs, extending India’s lead to an unassailable 2-0 in the three-match ODI series.

Three West Indies centuries set a formidable target

West Indies built their imposing total around three substantial contributions: Amir Jangoo scored 114, Shai Hope made 104 and John Campbell added 101. Together, their centuries supplied 319 runs, giving the visitors a formidable platform across their 50 overs.

India nevertheless claimed seven wickets, with Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Gurnoor Brar taking two apiece. Those six wickets represented the bulk of India’s success with the ball, although West Indies still pushed beyond 400 to leave the hosts chasing 406.

Gill and Rohit make a daunting chase look comfortable

Gill’s 223 was the defining contribution of the match. Against a target that demanded sustained scoring rather than a brief burst of aggression, his double-century gave India the weight of runs needed to keep the chase firmly under control.

Rohit Sharma supplied another major innings with 101, while Ruturaj Gaikwad contributed 31. Gill and Rohit’s individual scores combined amounted to 324 runs, accounting for almost four-fifths of India’s eventual total. The scale of those contributions was decisive: India lost only two wickets and reached the target with six overs and three balls to spare.

Jayden Seales returned 1/78 from eight overs and Shamar Joseph took 1/52 from six. They were West Indies’ only wicket-taking bowlers, and two breakthroughs were not enough to disrupt a chase dominated by Gill.
