Shubman Gill Double Century: In a massive breaking news development, Shubman Gill has become the fifth Indian batsman to smash a double hundred in ODI cricket. The 23-year-old achieved the landmark during the India vs New Zealand 1st ODI match being played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. India are coming into this game after registering a brilliant 3-0 ODI series whitewash against Sri Lanka at home.
India’s young and talented opener Shubman Gill has recorded his name in a staggering tally after having scored his maiden double century in the first ODI against New Zealand on Wednesday. While batting first in Hyderabad, the opener smacked a remarkable knock of 208 runs off just 149 balls that included 19 fours and 9 sixes. The most important part of this knock was that Shubman showed exceptional temperament and composure as wickets kept falling at the other end and helped India post a mammoth total of 349 for 8 in their 50 overs. He is the fifth Indian batsman to register a double hundred in ODI cricket after the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan.
