Gill's 117-ball double century fastest in ODIs; Rohit reaches 12,000 runs
India captain Shubman Gill recorded the fastest double hundred in One Day International cricket on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, reaching 200 in 117 balls. The innings came against the West Indies during India's second ODI in Guwahati.
Gill's 117-ball double century eclipsed the previous benchmark set by teammate Ishan Kishan, who required 126 balls to reach an ODI double century against Bangladesh in Chattogram in 2022. The innings also made Gill only the second batter after Glenn Maxwell to score an ODI double century while chasing; Maxwell had produced 201 not out against Afghanistan at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in 2023. The Indian opener additionally became only the second batter, after Rohit Sharma, to register multiple double centuries in men's ODI cricket.
The report noted that Rohit Sharma reached 12,000 runs in One Day Internationals, becoming only the third Indian batter to achieve that total and joining Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Rohit reached the 12,000-run milestone in 282 innings, a pace described as the second-fastest to that mark. Only Virat Kohli reached 12,000 ODI runs in fewer innings, doing so in 242 innings, while Sachin Tendulkar took 300 innings.
The article listed the other players inside the top five by innings to 12,000 ODI runs, with Ricky Ponting reaching the mark in 314 innings and Kumar Sangakkara in 336 innings. Those innings counts were presented alongside the figures for Kohli, Tendulkar and Rohit. The statistics were cited in the same match report that documented Gill's double century.
