record 405-7 with 39 balls to spare in the second one-day international in Guwahati.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">India captain Gill, however, was in sublime form &#8211;

It was only the sixth time in ODI history that a team has had three centurions in one innings<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Left-handed opener Campbell struck five sixes in his rapid century and took 22 off one Prasidh Krishna over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">India bowlers Krishna and Naman Dhir picked up injuries while paceman Auqib Nabi had a debut to forget &#8211;
