Coach Gautam Gambhir said on Oct 1 that the Guwahati pitch was unfair on bowlers after India chased down 406 against West Indies: this is not cricket, this is only batting. Shubman Gill's unbeaten 223 off 133 and Rohit Sharma's 75-ball hundred sealed an 8-wicket win and a 2-0 series sweep.

India coach Gautam Gambhir has rued batting-friendly pitches after India chased down 406 against West Indies in Guwahati, saying the surface was unfair on bowlers: 'This is not cricket, this is only batting.'

Shubman Gill smashed an unbeaten 223 off 133 — the fastest ODI double century — while Rohit Sharma hit 101 off 75 and crossed 12,000 ODI runs; their 255-run opening stand set the tone for the second-highest successful ODI chase ever.

West Indies' 405/7 featured centuries from John Campbell, Shai Hope and Amir Jangoo — only the sixth triple-hundred ODI innings in history — yet ended in an 8-wicket defeat and a 2-0 series sweep for India.
