IND vs NZ: Shubman Gill creates history with century in Ahmedabad

Gill becomes the first Indian batter to score a century in all three formats at one venue

India’s One Day International (ODI) vice-captain and star batter Shubman Gill created history on Wednesday at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium with his brilliant century against New Zealand in the third and final ODI of the three-match series. Gill, with his century in an ODI match at Ahmedabad, has become the first Indian batter to score 100-plus runs in an innings in all three formats at a single venue. He had earlier recorded scores of 125 in Twenty20 International (T20I) matches and 128 in Test matches to achieve this historic milestone.
