New Delhi. Shubman Gill, the young opener of the Indian cricket team, has played another excellent inning while continuing the blazing form. After scoring a century in the last ODI against Sri Lanka, now he has made the same start against New Zealand. Gill has created a ruckus by scoring a century in the second consecutive ODI. Gill’s game is becoming more aggressive than before. Has scored 3 centuries in the last 11 innings.
Playing an amazing inning against New Zealand, Shubman Gill completed 50 runs in just 52 balls with the help of 9 fours and 1 six. After this, while speeding up his innings, he scored his second consecutive century by hitting big fours. After playing 87 balls, Gill completed his century by scoring 14 fours and 2 sixes.
Gill’s third ODI century
This young man may have taken time to make his first ODI, but now he has scored two consecutive centuries one after the other. He had scored a century while batting with Virat Kohli in Visakhapatnam against Sri Lanka, and here he scored a century holding one end alone. He scored his maiden ODI century against Zimbabwe in Harare last year and then scored two more centuries in the 10th innings.
True to the captain’s trust
Before the start of the series against Sri Lanka, Captain Rohit Sharma had cleared the matter of opening with Gill while expressing confidence in him. Ishaan Kishan scored a double century in ODIs while opening after Rohit was injured in Bangladesh. The captain chose Gill as his partner after his return and kept Ishaan out of the playing XI. Now sent Ishaan to play in the middle order against New Zealand while keeping Gill in the opening.
