Milestone In Elite Company

Rohit's century was accompanied by another historic milestone, as he crossed 12,000 ODI runs to become only the third Indian alongside Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli to achieve the feat.

The 39-year-old reached the milestone in 12,973 balls, making him the second quickest player in history regarding deliveries faced, behind only compatriot Virat Kohli, who achieved it in 12,853 balls.

Broadcast cameras captured captain Shubman Gill embracing his partner warmly, celebrating the landmark hundred as the duo dominated the bowling attack during their double-century opening partnership at the Barsapara Stadium.

Dominant Pursuit In Guwahati

Gill had earlier reached his own century off 62 deliveries, matching Rohit stroke for stroke as the Indian openers maintained an astonishing scoring rate close to ten runs per over.

West Indies bowlers appeared helpless following an earlier Caribbean batting display that saw John Campbell, Shai Hope, and Amir Jangoo register three individual centuries to post 405 for seven.

Supporters and commentators quickly praised Rohit's composed demeanour following the milestone, highlighting his calm focus and impeccable timing under immense pressure in the critical second match of the series.

Holding a 1-0 series advantage, India stand within touching distance of pulling off a historic chase, with Rohit's masterclass placing the hosts firmly in command of the Guwahati contest.
