Shubman Gill set record as the youngest Indian cricketer made double
century in One Day Internationals.
He slammed maiden double century off just 145 balls during the first ODI
between India and New Zealand in Hyderabad on Wednesday.He became the
fifth Indian cricketer ever to achieve the feat and his innings was adorned
with 19 boundaries and eight massive sixes. Earlier, the feat was achieved
by Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. He
also became the youngest cricketer to hit a double century in ODIs – a
record previously held by Kishan.It was a near-perfect performance for the
youngster who looked completely in control against the New Zealand bowlers.
He stitched together a solid 50-run partnership with Rohit for the opening
wicket and although Rohit was dismissed, Gill continued without any
discomfort on the pitch with an even bounce.The right-hander continued to play his shots even when India lost two quick
wickets in the form of Virat Kohli and Ishan Kishan. Gill was able to reach
his third ODI century and in the process, he also became the fastest Indian
cricketer to score 1000 ODI runs surpassing the likes of Kohli and Shikhar
Dhawan.
