Shubman Gill, a star for India, received recognition for a 360-run series victory against New Zealand as the young opener entered the top 10 batters in the most recent ICC ODI rankings. After scoring a magnificent double hundred and a century against New Zealand at home, in-form opener Gill stands out, moving up an astounding 20 spots to sixth overall.
After scoring a quickfire 100 against the Kiwis in Indore, Rohit vaults two spots to tie Gill for eighth place, moving up ahead of the seasoned Virat Kohli. Tuesday in Indore, Gill scored 112 runs in just 78 balls, giving him his fourth ODI century and second of the series. The opener had scored 208 earlier in the series in Hyderabad, making him the fifth Indian to reach an ODI double hundred
After scoring 40 runs in the second ODI of the series, Gill’s total runs in the bilateral series now stands at 360. In a bilateral ODI series of three games or less, the number of runs is the joint-highest total ever amassed by any hitter. Babar Azam also scored 300 runs in three games in the 2016 series against the West Indies, totaling 360 runs.
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, still holds a commanding lead in the standings for ODI batters, but three Indian players are currently competing for the top spot.
Briefly, Shubman Gill rose to number 10 among batters in the most recent ICC ODI rankings.
