Shubman Gill smashes second consecutive ODI ton
Indian batter Shubman Gill produced yet another staggering knock as he bailed his side out of trouble and smashed a century after his team lost early wickets. His innings was full of class as he provided control to the batting line and made sure that he steadied the innings.
Gill oozed his class right from ball 1 and displayed an exhibition of sensational stroke play, which saw him hitting Kiwi bowlers all over the park. He held one end while wickets kept tumbling at the other. But he was left unfazed by things happening on the other end.
Gill batted with a strike rate of over 100 and crafted his innings staggeringly well. He dominated the New Zealand attack and smashed his 3rd ODI ton in just 87 balls. This was his second consecutive ODI ton as he scored a century in the last game against Sri Lanka. He also became the 2nd fastest Indian to score 3 ODI centuries. He also became the fastest Indian batter to score 1000 runs as he surpassed Virat Kohli to achieve the feat in just 19 innings.
