India 406-2 (43.3 overs): Gill 223*, Rohit 101
Shubman Gill scored a career-best 223 not out as India sensationally chased down West Indies' record 405-7 with 39 balls to spare in the second one-day international in Guwahati.
West Indies looked to be favourites at the interval having posted their highest ever total in the format, with John Campbell (101), Shai Hope (104) and Amir Jangoo (114) all hitting centuries.
India captain Gill, however, was in sublime form - bringing up his century off just 62 balls and his 200 just 55 balls later.
The elegant right-hander plundered eight sixes and 26 fours, putting on 255 for the first wicket with Rohit Sharma, who scored a century of his own.
Rohit was trapped lbw for 101 and Virat Kohli fell for 29 but Ruturaj Gaikwad joined Gill to ensure India won in style and with remarkable ease.
Earlier, centuries for Campbell, Hope and Jangoo meant the Windies recorded their highest team total in the format. It was only the sixth time in ODI history that a team has had three centurions in one innings
Campbell and Hope put on 110 in 79 balls for the second wicket, before a huge third-wicket partnership of 182 between Hope and Jangoo set the platform for a record total.
