Indian Cricket Team’s dashing right-handed batter Shubman Gill struck a thunderstorm century in the 3rd T20I match against New Zealand. The batter scored an unbeaten 126 runs in 63 balls where he struck 12 fours and 7 sixes as he was whacking the bowlers all around the park.

The batter formed a crucial partnership of 103 runs with the skipper Hardik Pandya. Shubman looked like a man on a mission as the batter initially took a little bit of time and then unleashed attack on the opposition. His knock propelled India’s score to a mammoth 234-4.

Shubman Gill breaks Virat Kohli’s record

Shubman Gill surpassed Virat Kohli’s tally of 122 runs in T20I match where Virat had struck a fine century against Afghanistan in Asia Cup 2022. It won’t be wrong to say that Shubman Gill has fixed his spot in T20I format as earlier there were talks going on of replacing him with Prithvi Shaw who has been amassing runs in the domestic circuit.

Delight for Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill now has a century in all the 3 formats of the game where only quite a few players have attained this feat. The batter now has given happy head-aches to the selection panel after this knock. The batter from ball 1 showed a lot of intent & character and didn’t panic when the dashing wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan was dismissed in the power-play overs by Michael Bracewell.

New Zealand would be in a state of shock as their all bowlers were thrashed around the park. The Black Caps would require a helluva of effort to get closer to the target. It would be interesting to see what approach New Zealand apply as they need one batter to bat deep & play a significant knock for the team.
