IND vs NZ 3rd T20I: Shubman Gill tames the Kiwis with his maiden T20I hundred

Shubman Gill having a time of his life.

There was a time when he was criticised for not converting good starts into big scores but ever since the opening batter got the taste of a century in Tests in December 2022, there has been no stopping the man from Punjab.

Gill carried on his brilliant one-day form into the T20Is as he smashed his maiden T20I hundred off just 54 balls in the 3rd T20 vs New Zealand.

What made the innings even more special was the fact that the 23-year-old brought up his first-ever 3-digit score in the shortest format in the series decider.

Gill carried on and finished at an unbeaten 63-ball-126 and now has the highest score by an Indian in T20Is, going past Virat Kohli's 122 not out vs Afghanistan.

Apart from that, he is only the second Indian after Rohit Sharma to have an ODI double century & a T20I hundred.
