West Indies are set to play a three-match ODI series in India, with the first game scheduled for September 27, 2026, in Thiruvananthapuram. The series puts
the spotlight firmly on India's ODI captain, Shubman Gill, who leads the side under coach Gautam Gambhir.
Gill has built a strong record against West Indies in the 50-over format across six innings. His numbers make him one of India's most consistent performers in this head-to-head contest, and the upcoming series offers him another opportunity to add to those figures.
1. Gill's overall ODI numbers against West Indies
Across six ODI innings against West Indies, Shubman Gill has accumulated 331 runs at a batting average of 66.20. That average is notably higher than his overall ODI career average of 60.33, which comes from 67 matches and 3,379 runs.
His consistency against this opponent stands out when compared with his broader career numbers. Gill made his ODI debut on January 31, 2019, against New Zealand, while his most recent ODI before the West Indies series came on July 19, 2026, against England. His record against West Indies therefore covers a significant period of his international career.

2. Gill's best score and his 2022 series performance
Gill's best score against West Indies in ODIs is an unbeaten 98, and he has registered three half-centuries in six innings against them. His strike rate in these matches is 92.71, reflecting a productive approach at the crease.
During India's 2022 ODI series in the West Indies, which India won 3-0, Gill was the team's leading run-scorer with 205 runs and was named Player of the Series. His performances during that tour contributed significantly to his overall numbers against the Caribbean side and highlighted his impact in the format.
3. Gill's recent ODI form and broader career milestones
Gill has also been in good touch in ODIs in 2026. He scored 84 and 154* in the first two ODIs against Afghanistan in June before missing the third game. He then continued his run-scoring form during India's three-match ODI series against England in July, scoring 80, 31 and 77. Overall, he finished the England series with 188 runs at an average of 62.67, with two half-centuries.
The India captain has also achieved several notable milestones in his ODI career. He became the youngest cricketer to score a double century in ODIs, reaching the milestone at the age of 23. He also became the fastest batter to reach 2,500 ODI runs in terms of innings, surpassing Hashim Amla's record during India's series against England in early 2025.
