ODI double-century club: Gill joins Rohit as India dominate the 200 list
Scoring 200 in a 50-over international was long considered out of reach. It has now happened 13 times in men's ODIs, by 10 different batters. India has produced eight of those innings, and Shubman Gill's recent effort in Guwahati is the latest.
Gill made an unbeaten 223 off 133 balls in the second ODI against West Indies on 30 September 2026. It was his second ODI double hundred, which makes him only the second man after Rohit Sharma to get more than one. The innings had 26 fours and eight sixes. It also powered India to a successful chase of 406, the highest in the format for them. His 200 came up in 117 balls, which beat the earlier record of 126 balls held by Ishan Kishan.
The full men's list, in order of occurrence:
• Sachin Tendulkar, 200 not out v South Africa, Gwalior, February 2010. This was the first one.
• Virender Sehwag, 219 v West Indies, Indore, December 2011.
• Rohit Sharma, 209 v Australia, Bengaluru, November 2013.
• Rohit Sharma, 264 v Sri Lanka, Eden Gardens, November 2014. This is still the highest score in ODI history.
• Chris Gayle, 215 v Zimbabwe, Canberra, February 2015.
• Martin Guptill, 237 not out v West Indies, Wellington, March 2015. This is the highest unbeaten score.
• Rohit Sharma, 208 not out v Sri Lanka, Mohali, December 2017.
• Fakhar Zaman, 210 not out v Zimbabwe, Bulawayo, July 2018.
• Ishan Kishan, 210 v Bangladesh, Chattogram, December 2022.
• Shubman Gill, 208 v New Zealand, Hyderabad, January 2023.
• Glenn Maxwell, 201 not out v Afghanistan, Mumbai, November 2023.
• Pathum Nissanka, 210 not out v Afghanistan, Pallekele, February 2024.
• Shubman Gill, 223 not out v West Indies, Guwahati, September 2026.
India's share stands out. Tendulkar and Sehwag started the trend, Rohit made it a habit with three of his own, and Kishan and Gill have carried it into the current generation. Five different Indian batters have now reached 200, more than any other country. No other country has had more than one.
The list also shows how different these innings can be. Rohit's 264 came off 173 balls with 33 fours and nine sixes, and it is still far ahead of the next best. His 209 in Bengaluru had 16 sixes. Gill's two double hundreds differ in pace: 208 off 149 balls in 2023, then 223 off just 133 in a chase. Kishan's 210 came off 131 balls in a match where India piled up 409.
For India, the numbers point to depth at the top of the order. Rohit's tally of three remains untouched, but Gill is only one behind and has the faster record. Gill is also the current ODI captain, so his double hundred matters beyond personal records. A chase of 406 would normally be considered out of reach, and a captain who can finish one is a big asset.
The list is also a reminder of how rare the feat is. It took 13 innings across more than 16 years to reach this point. Seven of the 13 have come since December 2017, which shows how much power-hitting and batting depth have changed ODI cricket. Whether Rohit's mark of three can be matched, or his 264 beaten, is now one of the more interesting individual questions in the format. With Gill in his prime, an Indian is the likeliest to attempt both.
