Shubman Gill slammed his maiden double century off just 145 balls during the first ODI encounter between India and New Zealand in Hyderabad on Wednesday. He became the fifth Indian cricketer ever to achieve the feat and his innings was adorned with 19 boundaries and eight massive sixes.
From stitching crucial opening partnerships with Rohit Sharma to scoring a sublime century, Gill hardly put foot wrong in the recently-concluded series against the islanders.
