Shubman Gill scored the sixth hundred of his ODI career and damaged the confidence of the Australian bowlers. In the second ODI in Indore, Gill looked at his best after seeing off the new ball. It was his first ODI hundred against the Australian team. The opener has been in a phenomenal form in the format. The runs have been coming continuously from the blade of Gill.
The 24-year-old looked to steady the Indian innings after the wicket of Ruturaj Gaikwad. As Iyer went well at the other end, Gill joined the party and started smashing the Australian bowlers. There was no respite for the bowlers whatsoever. Gill scored runs in all parts of the ground. The right-handed batter scored fifth ODI hundred in the calendar year 2023.
Steve Smith won the toss and elected to bowl first on a good batting track in Indore. The Australian ca ptain would regret his decision seeing how Gill batted. The Firozpur-born batter was particularly good in the V. The youngster targeted the straight boundaries well and scored a lot of runs in the region from long-on to long-off.
