Shubman Gill broke Virat Kohli’s record of the highest individual score by an Indian batter in T20Is in the third and final T20I against New Zealand.
The right-handed batter accomplished the feat scoring an unbeaten 126 off 63 balls with 12 fours and seven sixes.
India posted a massive score of 234 for the loss of four wickets after opting to bat first. Gill got to his half-century off 35 balls after that he got to his hundred off 54 balls and became the sixth Indian man to score a T20I hundred.
