West Indies defeat India in record ODI run chase
West Indies secured a historic five-wicket victory over India in the third ODI at New Chandigarh, completing their highest-ever successful run chase in ODI history. Captain Shai Hope anchored the pursuit with an unbeaten 162 off 143 balls, supported by Amir Jangoo’s 67. The victory prevented India from achieving a clean sweep in the three-match series, though India ultimately won the series 2-1.
Earlier, India posted a formidable 351/7 after a shaky start that saw Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli dismissed early. Rohit Sharma (92) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (57) stabilized the innings before KL Rahul delivered a sensational unbeaten 129 off 87 balls. During this match, Rahul also reached the milestone of 10,000 international runs.
Despite the series win, Indian captain Shubman Gill expressed concerns regarding the team’s fielding and death-bowling execution ahead of the 2027 World Cup. He noted that the team dropped six or seven catches during the series and struggled with tactical clarity in the final overs.
