Clutch Double Centuries: Top 2 Highest Individual Scores in Men's ODI Run-Chases

 ​Scoring a double century in ODI cricket is a rare feat, but achieving it while chasing a daunting target is an elite tier of batting greatness. In the history of Men's ODIs, only two batsmen have ever scored a double hundred in the second innings while successfully pulling off a run-chase.

​Top 2 Highest Scores While Chasing in Men's ODIs

​When the pressure is at its peak during a second-innings run-chase, these two extraordinary innings stand at the very top of world cricket records:

​1. Shubman Gill – 223* off 133 balls (vs West Indies, 2026)

​Score: 223* (133 balls)

​Venue: ACA Stadium, Guwahati

​Record: Highest individual score ever in an ODI run-chase. Shubman Gill produced an all-time masterclass to power India through a record-breaking target, making this the highest individual score in second-innings history.

​2. Glenn Maxwell – 201* off 128 balls (vs Afghanistan, 2023)

​Score: 201* (128 balls)

​Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

​Record: The first-ever double century scored during an ODI run-chase. Battling severe cramps, Maxwell played an miraculous knock to guide Australia to a famous World Cup victory from the brink of defeat.

​Why Chasing Double Hundreds Are So Rare

​Pressure of the Required Rate: Batters have to balance boundary hitting with wicket preservation under constant scoreboard pressure.

​Physical Exhaustion: Scoring 200+ runs in the second innings requires immense physical endurance after fielding for 50 overs.

​Conclusion

​ Shubman Gill and Glenn Maxwell have etched their names into cricket history with these incredible run-chase double centuries. These knocks will forever be remembered as the greatest clutch innings in white-ball cricket.
