Shubman Gill was named Player of the Series after a commanding run of 334 runs in India’s ODI series against the West Indies. The India captain averaged 167 at a strike rate of 135.22 across the three matches. His standout innings was an unbeaten 223 off 133 balls in a 406-run chase in Guwahati on September 30, the fastest double century in ODI history, struck with 26 fours and 8 sixes.
