During the 3rd ODI between Zimbabwe and India, Indian batter Shubhman Gill registered his maiden ODI ton. The right-hander made his ODI return in the last series against West Indies after a spell of 18 months. He has impressed everyone since his return to the side.
India won the toss and finally opted to bat first, where Dhawan and Rahul got good starts, but they failed to convert them. Gill, however, was in a different mood, and he was looking in great rhythm from the very first ball. He stitched a brilliant partnership of 140 runs for the 3rd wicket with Ishan Kishan.
On the 1st ball of the 44th over, Gill took a single on Nyauchi’s delivery to complete his maiden ODI ton. The whole Indian team applauded the efforts of the talented batter. He got out by scoring 130 runs in 97 balls, courtesy of 15 boundaries and one six.
