Shubman Gill equals Babar Azam's world record

Online Desk

Indian batter Shubman Gill brought up his 4th ODI century, in the 3rd match of the series against New Zealand on Tuesday.

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma also reached the three-figure mark as he brought up his 30th hundred in the format.

Having scored 208 and 40-not out in the first two matches of the series, Gill is already the top-scoring batter in the 3-match assignment by a distance. As Gill touched the 112-run mark in the match at Indore, he matched Pakistan captain Babar Azam's record of scoring the 'most number of runs in a 3-match ODI series', reports NDTV.

Babar had solely held the record of scoring the most number of runs (360) in a 3-match ODI series. Gill needed 113 runs to surpass the Pakistan stalwart's record but he was dismissed for 112.

Shubman Gill is only the second batter in the history of the game to have scored more than 350 runs in a 3-match ODI series.

Following Gill in the list are Bangladesh's Imrul Kayes (349), South Africa's Quinton de Kock (342) and New Zealand's Martin Guptill (330).
