Indian cricket team batter Shubman Gill completed his 200 runs in the ongoing game against New Zealand in Hyderabad. This was his first 200 in ODIs. Shubman Gill becomes the 5th Indian batter to score a double century in the ODI cricket.
A few days ago, Ishan Kishan scored a double-ton for India in ODIs, becoming the fourth Indian to join the elite list and now Shubman Gill became the fifth one to reach this milestone. He also scored the highest individual run as Indian against New Zealand in ODIs.
Opening batter Shubman Gill becomes the fifth Indian batter after legends Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, and Rohit Sharma who has three, and Ishan Kishan. India set the target of 350 runs for New Zealand in the first ODI.
Shubman Gill was later dismissed by Shipley on 208 runs. In this massive innings, Shubman hit 9 sixes and 19 boundaries. This celebration of Shubman Gill will last longer if India wins the first ODI against New Zealand.
