Having been given the nod ahead of Ishan Kishan, Gill has grabbed the opportunity with both hands and proved once again why he is the best fit for the opening slot alongside Rohit Sharma.

However, son after Rohit departed, Gill followed suit too after chasing a wide delivery from Blair Tickener and giving a simple catch to Devon Conway at backward point.

Gill’s 112 came in just 78 balls that included 13 fours and five sixes. With 208, 40 not out and 112, Gill equalled Pakistan skipper Babar Azam for most runs in a three-match bilateral ODI series.

While Babar scored 360 runs in three ODIs against West Indies in 2016, Gill did the same against New Zealand in this series. The 24-year-old Gill also became the quickest India to complete four hundreds in ODIs surpassing Shikhar Dhawan.

While Dhawan completed the milestone in 24 innings, Gill took three innings less.
