SHUBMAN GILL BREAKS VIRAT KOHLI’S RECORD, EQUALS BABAR AZAM

Shubman Gill scored 112 runs in the third ODI against New Zealand in Indore, taking his series tally to 360. This is the most by an Indian in a three-match bilateral one-day series. The previous record was held by Virat Kohli, who scored 283 runs in the three-match series against Sri Lanka earlier in the year. Gill also leveled Babar Azam's record of 360 runs in a three-match bilateral ODI series with his feat. With his ton in Indore, Gill became the fastest Indian male cricketer to four ODI tons. He needed only 21 innings to get there, breaking Shikhar Dhawan’s record (24 innings). Gill’s 212-run stand with Rohit Sharma is a new record for the highest opening partnership against New Zealand. The previous record was jointly held by Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sanath Jayasuriya, and Upul Tharanga (201 runs).
