Jangoo's Rapid Centennial Celebration

Amir Jangoo, batting left‑handed for the West Indies, struck 100 runs off just 70 balls, reaching his fifty in 43 deliveries before accelerating for another 50 in a further 27 balls. He hit boundaries regularly to keep the Indian bowlers on the back foot as West Indies crossed 400 in their innings. After the instantitic milestone, the cameras captured Jangoo kneeling on the pitch and bowing his head in a sajda, a sign of gratitude in Islam.[1]

The gesture, common among Muslim athletes after a noteworthy personal achievement, was broadcast to the home audience and added a solemn moment to an otherwise high‑tempo match.[1]

Series Context and West Indies Momentum

India entered the match leading the three‑match series 1–0. Their win in the first ODI had positioned them to secure a series win if they held out in Guwahati, while West Indies recognised the second game as a chance to level the series.[1]

West Indies also registered another century earlier in the game, mounting a total of 400+. This places them among a small group of teams that have managed three centuries against India in a single innings; South Africa was the only team to achieve the feat previously, in 2015 at Wankhede.[1]

Individual Performances Beyond Jangoo

Akib Nabi, on his ODI debut for the West Indies, made 84 runs. The score was described in a Hindi‑language article as a “shameful record” for a debutant, implying that it was among the lowest on record for a new player. The same piece noted that Gurnoor Brar scored 96 runs but missed the chance for a century in this match.[2]
