'Showed determination and concentration' - Rohit Sharma praises Shubman Gill's record-breaking double century

India secured a comfortable eight-wicket triumph against the West Indies in their second one-day international at Guwahati, successfully overhauling a 405-run target with 39 deliveries remaining to seize a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Shubman Gill spearheaded the run chase with an unbeaten 223 from 133 balls, smashing 26 boundaries and eight maximums while breaking multiple records along the way.

During his remarkable knock, Gill registered the fastest double century in ODI history by reaching the milestone in 117 deliveries, eclipsing the previous mark set by Ishan Kishan. He also became just the second batter to register a double hundred during a successful run chase, joining Glenn Maxwell.

Skipper Rohit Sharma provided strong support with a 75-ball 101, combining with Gill for a 255-run opening stand before praising his teammate's exceptional stamina and focus after the contest concluded.
