He scored a double century in the first ODI of the series against New Zealand and set a flurry of records. He also became the youngest batsman to score a double century in ODI format. He broke the record of India's Ishaan Kishan. In one case, he even went ahead of the great Sachin Tendulkar. With this, he also became an 'enemy' for a staunch and experienced batsman of Team India.Gill's first ODI double century23-year-old Shubman Gill batted in a stormy fashion at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Gill scored 208 runs in 149 balls in this match. He got down to the opening and froze at the crease like a wall. He hit 19 fours and 9 sixes in his innings. He was dismissed on the second ball of the last over of the innings.

With this, he left behind the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin had the record for the biggest innings (186 not out) against this team, which he made in Hyderabad in the year 1999. At the same time, Australia's veteran Michael Hayden scored an unbeaten 181 runs in ODIs against this team in the year 2007. Now Gill has gone ahead of everyone.Enemies made for DhawanGill made many records but he also became an 'enemy' for a player of Team India. Actually, Gill plays with the team as an opener. Shikhar Dhawan also represented India at this spot for a long time. Now Dhawan was dropped from the team against Sri Lanka and New Zealand. In such a situation, the selectors have given a clear indication that it is very difficult to consider Dhawan's name for the upcoming World Cup. At the same time, apart from Gill, Ishaan Kishan also scored a double century recently. Kishan can also land as Rohit's partner. In such a situation, Dhawan's place is not confirmed.24 centuries in international cricket37-year-old Dhawan represented the Indian team for many years. He has scored a total of 2315 runs in 34 matches with the help of 7 centuries and 5 half-centuries in Tests, a total of 6793 runs in 167 matches with 17 centuries and 39 half-centuries in ODIs and 1759 runs in 68 matches in T20 International format with 11 half-centuries.
