Former India captain Rohit Sharma was mocked by West Indies pacer Jayden Seales after being dismissed for 101 in the second ODI in Guwahati on Wednesday, September 30. Seales copied Rohit Sharma’s unusual jumping celebration after ending his 255-run opening partnership with Shubman Gill.
Team India, led by Shubman Gill, defeated the West Indies by eight wickets at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ongoing three-match series. The visitors posted 405/7, their highest ODI total, but India chased down 406 in 43.3 overs, with Gill and Rohit both scoring centuries.
Jayden Seales Mocks Rohit Sharma After LBW Dismissal
Rohit Sharma brought up his 35th ODI century off 72 balls by taking a single and adding a jump to his celebration. The moment quickly attracted attention, with the veteran opener responding to questions about his fitness.
Seales ended Rohit’s innings in the 27th over after trapping him on the pads. The on-field umpire took some time before giving the decision, and Rohit reviewed the LBW call.
UltraEdge showed no contact with the bat, while ball-tracking indicated that the delivery would have hit the top of the middle stump. Rohit was dismissed for 101 off 75 balls, with 10 fours and six sixes.
After taking the wicket, Seales immediately copied the jumping and limping routine from Rohit’s century celebration. The West Indies pacer’s animated response turned the dismissal into a light-hearted moment, with the video quickly catching the attention of fans on social media.
The only beautiful moment of the match:

Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill Dominate West Indies in 406-Run Chase
The West Indies had earlier produced a record-breaking batting performance after Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl first. John Campbell, Shai Hope, and Amir Jangoo all scored centuries as the visitors posted 405/7 from their 50 overs, their highest-ever total in ODI cricket.
Rohit and Gill responded with a massive 255-run opening partnership, putting the hosts in complete control before Seales finally broke through. Gill continued his excellent form at the other end. The Indian captain brought up his century from just 62 deliveries.
India eventually reached 406/2 in 43.3 overs, winning with 39 balls to spare. The chase was only the second time India had successfully chased a target of more than 400 in ODI cricket. Notably, the West Indies’ record total was not enough to put India under sustained pressure.
Rohit Sharma Crosses 12,000 ODI Runs and Breaks Age Record
Rohit Sharma became the oldest Indian batter to score a century in ODI cricket and crossed the 12,000-run mark during his innings. The former India captain now has 12,028 ODI runs from 290 matches, including 35 centuries and 62 half-centuries.
Rohit became only the third Indian batter after Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli to reach 12,000 ODI runs and the seventh batter overall to achieve the milestone.
Rohit reached the landmark in 282 innings, making him the second-fastest batter to score 12,000 ODI runs. Virat Kohli holds the record after reaching the mark in 242 innings, while Tendulkar took 300 innings.
The century was also Rohit’s second in his last three ODI innings. After scoring 32 in the first ODI against the West Indies, he converted his start into a major hundred in Guwahati. The performance also adds to his recent white-ball form as India continue building their squad for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
