India vs New Zealand, 1st ODI: Shubman Gill, at 23 years and 132 days, became the youngest batsman to hit a double hundred in one-day internationals.

However, once Shubman Gill was included in the ODI series against West Indies last year, there was no looking back. He played his third ODI against Australia and was once again left out in the cold despite a gritty 33 in Canberra. Incidentally, Shubman Gill had made his ODI debut against New Zealand, the same opponents against whom he would go on to shatter the Indian records for the fastest batter 1000 runs in the format. India lost a couple of quick wickets thereafter but there was no stopping Shubman Gill who has had to wait patiently for more regular opportunities to come his way. Gill is also the 5th Indian after Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan to hit an ODI double hundred.

IND vs NZ: Shubman Gill broke Virat Kohli's record to reach 1000 ODI runs in 24 innings, the young batter did it in just 19 innings.

That was all the stroke of luck that Gill had as he did not look back from there on. At the other end, Gill brought up his fifty with a slog sweep off spinner Michael Bracewell that went all the way. He hit four boundaries in different parts of the ground to assert himself. Shubman Gill smashed a coming-of-age double hundred to power India to 349 for eight in the first ODI against New Zealand on Wednesday. Rohit's aerial attempt off Blair Tickner in the 13th over ended his innings as he was caught at mid-on by Mitchell Santner. With the blistering knock of 208 off 149 balls, Gill broke the record held by veteran batters Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan to reach 1000-ODI runs (fastest).

But on this occasion, he was at his fluent best and hit nine sixes in total, with three of them coming off successive balls to deliver him the double ton. "I was waiting very eagerly to, you know, go out there and do what I want to do," Gill said. But the turn of the year saw Gill launch himself back into the side and regain the team management's trust, and to the extent that he was picked as an opener for the ODIs against Sri Lanka. The innings generated a fair amount of traction, not just because it was an incredible knock laced with power-hitting but also because it came in the lead up to a home World Cup for India.

Former captain Virat Kohli, who had hit 3 hundreds in his last 4 ODI knocks before Wednesday, was dimissed for 8 by Mitchell Santner as his woes against left-arm spin continued.

The criticism stemmed from the fact that Ishan was dropped right after he hit his maiden ODI double hundred in an ODI against Bangladesh in December 2022.

Shubman Gill shows how good he can be (ESPNcricinfo.com)

Hyderabad witnessed a player with immense self-belief and the special ability to hit good balls to the boundary.

It also meant a lot to the Hyderabad fans who turned up in droves despite the venue being cut off from the city, and despite the traffic diversions imposed for the game as well as for the funeral of the last titular Nizam of Hyderabad making it even more difficult for them to reach the ground. Once I was set, the main focus for me was to obviously be there for the team and score as many runs as possible. "And even today when wickets were falling, my main focus was to show some intent to the bowler because it becomes very easy for the bowler to bowl dot balls if the batsman is not going to show any intent that he's going to hit any boundaries - even if we have lost a wicket. "I think in the first ODI against Sri Lanka and in the third ODI, I was set, and I was looking to get a big score, but unfortunately that didn't happen for me. So that was my intent - even when wickets were falling to show the bowler that I will hit you if you're going to bowl bad balls." Gill himself was dropped twice, but nothing could stop him from powering India's innings in the middle and end overs with his attacking enterprise. The Hyderabad pitch was a challenging one with some balls holding up and others skidding onto the bat. They're not supposed to do this against one of the fastest bowlers in the world. It wasn't a long hop, but Gill made it seem like one because of his strong back-foot game, which he honed on cement wickets, and delightful wristwork. The second-highest score in India's innings was Rohit's 34. Shikhar Dhawan, one of India's finest ODI openers, can't even find a place in the squad. Rohit Sharma had been dismissed by a Blair Tickner ball that had stuck in the surface.
