Shubman Gill Smashes 7th ODI Century Against England
Shubman Gill continues to shine as one of the most promising young batters in world cricket. The right-hander is in great ODI form. He scored two fifties in the England series. Then, he built on that strong start and hit an exciting seventh ODI hundred at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Gill Anchors India’s Innings After Rohit’s Early Dismissal
The opener started strong. In the third over, he hit a lovely cover drive and kept finding the boundary. India faced an early setback when Rohit Sharma got out quickly. But Gill stayed calm and kept the pace up. This allowed Virat Kohli to settle in at the other end.
The duo built a 116-run partnership, with Kohli playing the anchor role. After Kohli got out, Gill kept up the attack with Shreyas Iyer. Together, they helped India aim for a big score.
