Records galore as India, West Indies vie for the ODI series
The visitors piled on a milestone total while Kuldeep Yadav and Shai Hope secured individual honours during the second ODI in Guwahati.
West Indies secured their highest-ever total in Men’s ODI history, as they scored 405/7 batting first in the second ODI against India.
Trailing 1-0 in the three-match series, the tourists were led by remarkable centuries from opener John Campbell (101), captain Shai Hope (104) and Amir Jangoo (114).
The total, marking the first time they crossed past the 400-run mark, eclipses their previous best of 389, which they compiled against England back in 2019.
Highest total by West Indies (in Men's ODIs)
| Total | Opposition (Year) | Venue |
| 405/7 | India (2026) | Guwahati |
| 389 | England (2019) | St George's |
| 385/7 | Ireland (2025) | Dublin |
| 381/3 | Ireland (2019) | Dublin |
| 374/6 | Netherlands (2023) | Harare |
Meanwhile, Hope, who scored a scintillating 20th ODI century, got past former Windies captain and ICC Hall of Famer Brian Lara in the tally of most ODI centuries for the West Indies.
Hope is now only behind Chris Gayle (25) as the second-most prolific centurion in the 50-overs format for the West Indies.
For India, Kuldeep Yadav was once again the pick of the bowlers on a tough outing for the hosts with the ball.
The left-arm spinner, who ended up with bowling figures of 2/65, became the fastest Indian spinner and third-fastest spinner overall to clinch 200 ODI wickets.
Kuldeep is now only the ninth Indian bowler to achieve the milestone in ODI cricket. Having made his debut back in 2017, the chinaman spinner took only 123 games to register the feat.
The ongoing ODI series between India and the West Indies offers key preparation for the next year's ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027.
