India have produced only the second successful chase of more than 400 runs in men's ODI cricket history, 20 years after the first. West Indies posted a huge 405 for seven, but India chased down the target in style, finishing on 406 for two to win by eight wickets in 2026. The only previous successful chase above 400 came in the famous 2006 ODI between South Africa and Australia. Australia scored 434 for four that day, only for South Africa to chase it down with 438 for nine, winning by one wicket with one ball remaining. Those two matches now stand alone in men's ODI history as the only occasions when a team has successfully chased a target above 400. India's latest achievement joins that exclusive list and sets a new standard for run chases in the modern era. It was a commanding batting display that turned a near impossible target into a convincing victory.
