India wins toss and opts to bat against West Indies in third ODI
India have already sealed the series 2-0 and are targeting a clean sweep with Anshul Kamboj making his ODI debut.
On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, India captain Shubman Gill smashed the fastest double century in men's ODI history, reaching 200 off 117 balls to secure an eight-wicket victory over West Indies in Guwahati.
West Indies posted their highest-ever ODI total of 405 for seven, powered by centuries from John Campbell, Shai Hope, and Amir Jangoo—the first time three batters scored hundreds in a single ODI innings.
Rohit Sharma became the third Indian to cross 12,000 ODI runs during his 101-run knock, anchoring a dominant 255-run opening partnership with Gill that controlled the chase.
India's successful pursuit of 406 runs marks the second-highest ODI chase in history, trailing only South Africa's 2006 record, as the hosts secured an unassailable 2-0 series lead.
Captain Gill highlighted a lack of 'sting' in India's bowling attack, particularly in powerplay and death overs, citing concerns about unsettled combinations as preparations continue for the 2027 World Cup.
