Shubman Gill becomes fastest to score 2000 runs ODI, beats Hashim Amla, Babar Azam during clash vs NZ at World Cup
ALSO READ: India vs New Zealand Live Score Updates, World Cup 2023 Gill's moment of glory came in the seventh over of India's run chase against New Zealand, as he needed just 14 runs when he emphatically dispatched a delivery from Trent Boult to the boundary. The Indian opener is also the highest run-scorer in the calendar year, with 1325 runs to his name in 25 matches so far.
It is known that Gill couldn't start the World Cup as an opener, as he was diagnosed with dengue and missed India's initial two matches in the tournament against Australia and Afghanistan. He made his comeback in a high-profile encounter against Pakistan, where he scored just 16 runs.
Meanwhile, batting first in Dharamsala, New Zealand was all out at 273 in 50 overs, all thanks to Mohammed Shami's 5-wicket haul. After winning the toss, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma decided to field first in the 21st match between India and New Zealand at ICC Men's World Cup 2023 in the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on 22 October.
But Mitchell (130) and Rachin Ravindra (75) put on 159 to get the innings back on track. Currently, India has scored 243/5 in 43 overs and needs 31 runs in 42 balls to win the match."Exciting news! Mint is now on WhatsApp Channels
