West Indies posted their highest ever ODI total, edging close to 350 runs, before India comfortably chased the target in Guwahati. ## What Happened The visitors were seven down but kept building partnerships, with Shai Hope reaching a century and Campbell scoring a brilliant century and moving into the 90s. Justin Greaves, who had made a hundred in the first ODI, was ruled out of the second match due to injury. Amir Jangoo added a quick half‑century and later fell to Ravindra Jadeja. Gurnoor Brar dismissed Rutherford and Prasidh Krishna took Carty’s wicket, the catch going to Naman Dhir. For India, Virat Kohli and captain Shubman Gill each struck centuries, guiding the chase to a comfortable win. Kuldeep Yadav claimed two wickets but was less decisive than in the first game. ## Reaction Team selectors will weigh recalling Mohammed Siraj and keeping Nitish Kumar Reddy in the squad, while former captain Rohit Sharma’s form remains under scrutiny. India’s lack of Jasprit Bumrah was noted, with Prasidh Krishna expected to fill the pace role. ## Context The massive West Indies total set a new record for the team, yet India's strong batting lineup proved able to chase even near‑350 scores in ODI cricket.
