They say `When it rains, it pours’. This is what it looks like when you see Gill’s actions. He has been scoring hundreds regardless of whether it is ODI or T20. Virat Kohli, who once marveled at Gill’s Under-19 performances, said this. “I didn’t have 10% of Subman Gill’s talent when I was 19 playing for India”. To show that all these praises are not exaggerated, Gill did another incident yesterday to help the Indian team win.
India beat New Zealand by 168 runs in the last T20 match of Havba Sava and won the T20 series. The young team led by Hardik Pandya has been able to win this series only because every player has given their impressive performance. Gill scored a double century in the ODI against New Zealand. But there were rumors that he could not fully express his action in the T20 series. Gill broke this with his batting. Gill had scored only 18 runs in the last two T20Is. There was talk of Prithivi Shah replacing Gill in the third match. But the team management had faith in Gill. Gill kept that hope alive with his maiden century. Virat Kohli, who was amazed by Gill’s Under-19 performance, said this. Virat Kohli’s 122 was the highest score among Indian players in T20 matches. Gill also broke this record yesterday.
India won the toss and the Gil-Ishan partnership came into play. Ishan Kishan returns the ball on one run. The subsequent combination of Tripathi-Gill pair rained down runs. Both were in action against the New Zealand bowling as they suited the field without tackling in the power play. On one side, Gill was hitting fours and on the other side, Tripathi was hitting sixes for his part. India scored 59 runs in the power play due to this partnership.
Tripathi was expected to score a half-century after hitting sixes and boundaries. Tripathi, who was playing in good form, was hit by Sodhi for a short six and the ball fell into Fergusal’s hand. But Tripathi had contributed well to the Indian team by accumulating 44 runs off 22 balls.
Gill crossed 50 runs by accumulating runs calmly. Surya Kumar’s impressive form continued in this game as well. But Surya Kumar was dismissed for 24 after a stunning diving catch by Bracewell.
Like a lion waiting for prey, Gill smothered the New Zealand bowlers. He continued to hit consecutive sixes on the leg side and off side. Every six Gill hit came off his middle bat. Gill scored his maiden century with Bhandari. “The game is not over yet” Gill showed fireworks from all four sides till the end
Gill scored an unbeaten 126 off 63 balls with 12 fours and 7 sixes. Captain Hardik Pandya also scored 30 runs to set New Zealand a target of 234 in 20 overs.
Hardik Pandya split the Finn-Conway combination in his first over as the Indian team’s fast batting performance in the first innings and the second innings showed the Indian team’s bowlers to chase huge runs.
New Zealand were trailing 4-2 when Arshadeep Singh Conway took the wicket of the first ball. At the end of the power play, New Zealand lost five wickets and scored 30 runs. Suryakumar’s two catches at slip were stunning. Next, the wickets of the New Zealand team fell due to the amazing bowling of the bowlers of the Indian team. Mitchell alone had the highest score of 35 runs.
In terms of bowling, Arshadeep, Shivam Mavi and Umran Khan took two wickets. Hardik Pandya took four wickets conceding 16 runs. Overall the Indian bowlers managed to bowl out the New Zealand team for 66 runs. In the end, the Pandya-led Indian team defeated New Zealand by 168 runs and won the series 2-1. This is the game in which India won by the biggest margin.
After losing the first match of the three-match T20 series, the Indian team came back and won the series by playing well in the next two matches.
