Rohit Sharma scored his first ODI century in three years while Shubman Gill continued his explosive run to power India to 385 for nine in the third and final game against New Zealand here on Tuesday. In reply, New Zealand powered along nicely with opener Devon Conway compiling a belligerent ton (138 off 100 balls). But, the visitors failed to maintain that momentum only to be dismissed for 295 in 41.2 overs. Shardul Thakur was the pick of the Indian bowlers with figures of 3-45.
Earlier, the two Indian openers put up a belligerent 212-run opening stand as Rohit (101 off 85 balls) got to the three-figure mark for the first time since January 2020. Gill (112 off 78) got his fourth ODI hundred. Gill reached his half-century when he drove the ball square off extra cover for a stylish four. A couple of overs later Rohit, too, brought up his fifty with a flat six over Mitchell Santner’s head. Matching each other’s strike rates, the 26th over saw both Rohit and Gill getting their centuries. Rohit pulled away to deep square to get to his century. Three balls later, Gill got to the triple-figure mark.
