However, a humorous incident was filmed after the game when Rohit Sharma made a dig at Ishan Kishan on his omission from the team for the one-day international series against Sri Lanka.
After scoring his first ever double century in a One-Day International on Wednesday, Shubman Gill became the talk of the town. This remarkable accomplishment was accomplished by the young batter in the opening one-day international of a three-game series against New Zealand at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
After scoring 208 runs in the 50-over format, Gill became the fifth Indian batter to surpass the double-century milestone in the country’s history. In addition to this, he broke the record for youngest player in the world to score a double, which had previously been held by India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan. He did this by scoring a century in his first ODI.
Rohit can be seen conversing with Gill and Ishan Kishan in a video that was published on BCCI TV.
In the clip, the Indian captain can be heard saying, “Ishan aap ne 200 banane ke baad teen matches nahi khele. (Ishan, you finished with a score of 200, but you did not participate in the following three games.)”
Ishan Kishan then responded by saying, “Bhaiya captain toh aap the, aap hi ne hata diya. (You are the captain, brother; you just took me out of the picture.)”
Ishan Kishan statement caused Rohit and Gill to break their sides with laughter as they roared with hysterical laughter at his humorous reaction.
In the third match of the series against Bangladesh in December of the previous year, Ishan hit his first ever ODI double hundred. However, he was not used at all in India’s One-Day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka, which ultimately resulted in a 3-0 victory for India.
India appeared to be in a strong position to win going into the first one-day international match against New Zealand. New Zealand was in serious difficulty at 131-6 while chasing 350, while India’s opener Gill had just struck the 10th double century in the history of ODIs.
New Zealand was unable to score many runs early on due to the disciplined bowling of India’s fast bowlers Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj. However, Bracewell’s late fireworks gave New Zealand hope of pulling off an incredible victory.
Although Finn Allen scored 40 runs easily at the top of the order, New Zealand was in danger of suffering a crushing loss after Siraj took the wicket of Latham for the sixth wicket.
After that, left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner joined Bracewell in the batting lineup. He contributed an outstanding 57 runs off 45 balls as part of a 162 run partnership before being dismissed by Siraj.
Despite hitting 12 fours and 10 sixes, Bracewell’s team ended up on the losing side of the match. Siraj had the best bowling numbers of any of the Indian players, with 4-46.
As a result of India’s victory, they now hold a 1-0 advantage in the three-game series.
