However, despite the defeat, India's Shubman Gill went on to achieve a rare feat as he broke Pakistan superstar Babar Azam's long-standing record.

In his 34-run knock, Gill went past Babar in the list of batters with most number of runs after 26 innings in ODIs. The Pakistan skipper had 1322 runs to his name after the first 26 ODI innings. 

Gill, on the other hand, amassed 1352 runs. The list also contains England's Jonathan Trott (1303 runs), Pakistan's Fakhar Zaman (1275 runs) and South Africa's Rassie van der Dussen (1267 runs).

Talking about the game, Indian management will be concerned about their batting performance with the World Cup around the corner.

Shai Hope led from the front with an unbeaten half-century as West Indies defeated India by six wickets in the second ODI and bring the three-match series on an even keel in Bridgetown.

Hope (63 not out; 80 balls) found a fine ally in Keacy Carty (48 not out; 65b) as the duo put together 91 runs (118b) for the fourth wicket to steady their 182-run chase.
