He also comfortably surpassed the previous highest individual score in an ODI chase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That record belonged to Pakistan\u2019s <strong>Fakhar Zaman<\/strong>, who scored <strong>193 against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2021<\/strong>. Before Fakhar, Shane Watson\u2019s unbeaten 185 against Bangladesh had held the record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gill has now pushed the ODI record all the way from 193 to <strong>223*<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More importantly, unlike Fakhar\u2019s 193, which came in a defeat, Gill\u2019s innings finished with India completing the chase.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article-ad article-ad--middle\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\"><span class=\"article-ad__label\">Advertisement<\/span><\/aside>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Double Century Under the Pressure of a 406-Run Chase<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is what makes Gill\u2019s innings so special.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A double century is rare in one-day cricket in any situation. But while batting first, a batter can build an innings without knowing exactly how many runs will ultimately be required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A chase is different.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a target on the scoreboard throughout the innings. The required run rate keeps changing, wickets can immediately increase the pressure and one quiet period can change the equation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gill had an even bigger challenge because India were chasing <strong>406<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet he didn\u2019t simply reach 200. He reached his double century from just <strong>117 balls<\/strong>, setting the record for the <strong>fastest double century in ODI history<\/strong>. Gill eventually finished unbeaten on 223 as India completed the chase with 39 balls to spare.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Record That Could Survive for Years<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calling any cricket record permanently \u201cunbreakable\u201d is impossible because records are made to be challenged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Gill has certainly created one that will be extremely difficult to surpass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a batter to break it, he would need the right combination of a huge target, a batting-friendly pitch, enough deliveries to score more than 223, and the ability to survive the pressure of a run chase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Gill, even the entire history of List A cricket had produced a highest chasing score of only 208*.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gill has now raised that mark to <strong>223*<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he did it while captaining India in an international match and chasing more than 400.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gill Continues to Rewrite ODI Records<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 223* also became the <strong>highest individual score by a captain in ODI history<\/strong>, while Gill became only the second batter after Rohit Sharma to score multiple ODI double centuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His 117-ball double century was another world record, surpassing the previous mark for the fastest ODI 200.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gill had already scored 110 in the opening ODI against West Indies. He followed it with 223* in Guwahati when India were facing one of the biggest targets in ODI history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many ways to measure a great one-day innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But scoring <strong>223 not out while chasing 406<\/strong>, setting a new record across the entire history of List A cricket and taking your team over the line makes this one truly historic.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ci-read-next\" aria-label=\"Related reading\"><a class=\"ci-read-next__link\" href=\"https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"ci-read-next__media\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><noscript><img width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record-300x169.webp\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"CRIC Informer\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 96px, 176px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record.webp 1280w\"\/><\/noscript><img width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record-300x169.webp\" class=\"lazyload attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"CRIC Informer\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 96px, 176px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/auqib-nabi-nightmare-odi-debut-record.webp 1280w\"\/><\/span><span class=\"ci-read-next__body\"><span class=\"ci-read-next__label\">Read next <span aria-hidden=\"true\">\u2192<\/span><\/span><strong class=\"ci-read-next__title\">Auqib Nabi\u2019s Nightmare Debut: Breaks Indian Record, Enters World Record List<\/strong><span class=\"ci-read-next__summary\">Auqib Nabi conceded 84 runs on his ODI debut against West Indies, breaking an unwanted Indian record and entering a global list.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/aside>\n<section id=\"ci-article-share\" aria-labelledby=\"ci-share-heading\" data-url=\"https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/shubman-gill-list-a-world-record-223\/\" data-title=\"Shubman Gill Creates a World Record That Could Stand for Years With Historic 223*\" data-copied=\"Link copied!\" data-manual=\"Select and copy the article link below.\">\n<h2 id=\"ci-share-heading\" class=\"ci-share__heading\">Share this article<\/h2>\n<p>\n        <label for=\"ci-share-link\">Article link<\/label><br \/>\n        <input id=\"ci-share-link\" type=\"text\" readonly=\"readonly\" value=\"https:\/\/cricinformer.com\/shubman-gill-list-a-world-record-223\/\"\/>\n    <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"ci-content-follow\" aria-labelledby=\"ci-follow-heading\">\n<div class=\"ci-follow__strip\">\n<h2 id=\"ci-follow-heading\" class=\"ci-follow__heading\">Get cricket updates.
