The world is congratulating Indian opener Shubman Gill on his scintillating batting performance against New Zealand in the first ODI at Hyderabad. Gill's 200 run knock was nothing short of remarkable, as he smashed 208 runs off just 149 deliveries, with the help of 19 fours and 9 sixes. It is an incredible achievement for the youngster to become the youngest batter in the world to score a double hundred, breaking Ishan Kishan's record, who scored a double hundred against Bangladesh last December. Furthermore, Shubman Gill is also the 5th Indian batter and 8th batter in the world to achieve this feat.
