What is India's record at Guwahati in ODIs?

India are set to take on the West Indies in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday, September 30. Shubman Gill's side will come into this clash on the back of a dominant eight-wicket victory in the first match of the series in Thiruvananthapuram.

India has a perfect 2-0 record in men's ODIs at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, having won both matches played at the venue. The stadium hosted its first men's ODI on October 21, 2018, and the second on January 10, 2023, with India winning on both occasions by comfortable margins.

The two matches have produced some of the most dominant batting displays seen in Indian ODI cricket, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli each contributing heavily in both games. Barsapara has proven to be a highly productive venue for the Indian top order across the two fixtures played there.

What happened in India's two ODIs at Barsapara Cricket Stadium?

Barsapara Cricket Stadium hosted its first men's ODI on October 21, 2018, when India faced West Indies. West Indies posted 322 runs in their innings, but India overhauled the target with considerable ease, finishing at 326 for 2 in just 42.1 overs to win by 8 wickets. The chase stands as the highest successful run-chase recorded at the venue.

India's second ODI at the venue came on January 10, 2023, against Sri Lanka. India won that contest by 67 runs, a margin that underlined their continued dominance at the ground. The Men in Blue posted a mammoth 373 for 7 on that day, which is the highest total at the venue. That match remains the last men's ODI played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium to date. Across both fixtures, India have not lost a single ODI at the venue, maintaining a 100 per cent win record.

How have Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli performed at Barsapara in ODIs?

Kohli has found significant success in Guwahati. He scored 140 against West Indies on October 21, 2018, forming a match-winning partnership with Rohit during the chase of 323. He then followed that up with 113 against Sri Lanka on January 10, 2023. Kohli has therefore scored a century in each of the two ODIs played at Barsapara, making him the standout batter at the ground.

Rohit has batted in both ODI innings at Barsapara and delivered outstanding performances on each occasion. Against West Indies on October 21, 2018, he scored an unbeaten 152 off 117 balls, anchoring the successful chase with his partner-in-crime. Against Sri Lanka on January 10, 2023, he contributed 83 runs. Across his two innings at the ground, Rohit has accumulated 235 runs off 184 balls with just one dismissal, reflecting his remarkable consistency at this venue. Together, the two have made Barsapara one of the most fruitful venues for India's top order in ODI cricket.
