Highest Successful Run Chases in ODI Cricket

Shubman Gill did not just lead India’s chase in Guwahati — he turned a 406-run mountain into a batting exhibition. With the West Indies posting a daunting 405, India needed something extraordinary to pull off the chase. Instead, Gill’s double-century charge made the target look almost ordinary. The India captain launched an assault that dismantled the West Indies attack, combining calculated aggression with breathtaking strokeplay as India raced to 406/2 in just 43.3 overs. What looked like an intimidating total quickly became another chapter in India’s batting history. Gill’s march to a double hundred was the centrepiece of a chase that rewrote the record books, with India’s 406 becoming the second-highest successful run chase in men’s ODI history. The only higher successful chase remains South Africa’s 438/9 against Australia in Johannesburg in 2006. In Guwahati, however, India’s response was remarkable not merely for the size of the target, but for how comfortably and quickly it was hunted down.
