'Like a dream': Young gun's 'out of this world' arrival sets up historic T20 demolition.

Asked about the demands of playing all three formats, Gill said: “When you are representing your country, I don’t think there is any kind of fatigue. New Zealand made a horrendous start to their mammoth chase as they lost their top four for just seven runs inside three overs as Arshdeep Singh struck twice in the second over of the innings. But the unstoppable Gill changed gears and raised his ton off 54 balls with a boundary as he took off his helmet and let off a roar. He had also put the New Zealand bowling to the sword by scoring 360 runs in the preceding ODIs -- the joint-most in a bilateral three-match series. I always wanted to play for India and being fortunate enough to play all the three formats, it is a blessing.” Gill smashed an unbeaten 126 off 63 balls to steer the team to 4-234 after they elected to bat first in the decider at the world’s biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.

After a century knock in the third T20Is, Kohli posted a picture with Gill with an epic five-word caption. Gill is widely touted to carry forward Kohli's batting legacy in the Indian team, and it didn't come as a surprise when the former Indian captain put a Instagram story claiming the same himself.

He has usually been an anchor in IPL but on Wednesday he regularly hit the ball on the up right from the start.

"I always wanted to play for India and being fortunate enough to play all the three formats is a blessing. I wish the best to him, and I want him to continue the great run, which he is having." So, to be honest, he's not someone who does not need to play behind the wicket because of the kind of shots he can play all around in front [of the wicket] with the gaps. In the IPL, he has usually been the anchor at the top for Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans, but on Wednesday night, he hung up the caution and regularly hit the ball on the up. [shockers](https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/hardik-pandya-gautam-gambhir-james-neesham-criticise-big-spinning-lucknow-pitch-1356493)", he showed in the third that he has developed the gears to keep up with the frenetic pace of T20 cricket. "It's just a switch he needs to do to play T20, ODI and Test cricket because he has the game for all formats. But happy to get the big ones for the team [now]. Because since his T20 debut in 2018, Shaw has been the fastest-scoring Indian opener in the powerplay and his strike rate of 152.27 during this phase is among the best in the world.

Lister then tries the wide yorker to Gill, with protection at deep point, and a short third in place, but Gill is so good that he can carve it away between the two fielders. He shows the full face of the bat and belts it down the ground, perfectly bisecting long-off and long-on. Tickner slumps to his knees in utter disbelief; Hardik at the other end nods in approval of Gill's special skill to make the bowler's best ball look like a poor one.

Fans make fun of Sachin Tendulkar after Shubman Gill's historic ton (ClutchPoints)

India batter Shubman Gill's maiden T20I against New Zealand in Ahmedabad led to Sachin Tendulkar's mockery on social media on Wednesday.

And the kind of power Shubman possesses, the positions that he gets in helps him score runs without even breaking a sweat. You are going to see a lot of him in the coming years,” he added. He has been brilliant to watch,” Sanjay Bangar told the host broadcaster Star Sports. Shubman Gill is someone whose basic game is made for 50-over format. He had his struggles against Bangladesh as well. Gill’s hundred came amid rising criticism of his play in T20Is, with 2011 World Cup winner Gautam Gambhir blasting him for his failures in the series’ previous two games against New Zealand. Later, Hardik Pandya and his boys bowled them out for 66, registering their biggest victory in T20Is by a massive margin of 168 runs. The Men in Blue eventually finished with a mammoth total of 234/4. Afterward, Shubman Gill went berserk as he began dealing in boundaries and sixes, but his all-out assault on the New Zealand bowlers only came after he completed his half-century. If this wasn’t enough, Shubman Gill added another feather to his cap as he leapfrogged Virat Kohli to have the highest score by an Indian in T20Is. At 23 years and 146 days, he accomplished the feat against Kiwis in the third T20I. [February 1, 2023]
