He moves to 47 and this is now his highest score in T20Is. Lockie Ferguson bangs this short and on off, slower too, Shubman Gill gets into position quickly and hammers it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a maximum. There is a stiffled appeal for LBW, but turned down. The umpires sends it upstairs to confirm the catch and the replays shows that it is clean. This is his maiden half-century in T20Is and he has looked in good touch. Blair Tickner serves this full and on middle, Suryakumar Yadav looks to slog it over mid on, but this time fails to get the timing right as his bat twists when he connects and hits it aerially wide of mid on. This is full and on off, Shubman Gill drives it towards mid off and refuses the run. Michael Bracewell there moves to his right and puts in a full length dive to take a stunning catch. New Zealand needed something special and Michael Bracewell has provided it to get rid of SKY. Mitchell Santner has a shy at the bowler's end, but misses and there is no one backing up.

After two difficult surfaces in Ranchi and Lucknow, this was a belter and the crowd were in for a treat. I was just looking to keep the same intent and keep the same process that worked in the IPL. Yes, playing for your country is a responsibility, sometimes you do feel (what if I throw it away) but you have to trust your process and it is important to know what the team needs at that moment. It was a terrific atmosphere, feeling really nice to win the series and to play in front of such a crowd. I would have been more happier if I had gotten more runs, but it was a crucial period and I was happy that I could do it for the team. Lobs up in the air for the easiest of takes for Ishan Kishan. The day belonged to Shubman Gill who became just the 5th Indian batter to score centuries in all formats of the game. It was my dream to play for India, and I am very fortunate to be part of the team in all three formats. We've seen some great wickets, if it is like that in October it will be a great World Cup to be part of and to learn. When we played the IPL final, we felt the second innings was more spicy but on this surface today I wanted to make it a normal game because it was a decider. (On doing things out of the box) Not to be honest, I always play the game like this. This Man of the Series and trophy goes out to the whole support staff, I'm happy for all of them.

He also became the first Indian captain since Anil Kumble in 2008 in any format to do so. On Wednesday, Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten 126 which was way more than the Kiwis total of 66. His knock took the hosts to a mammoth total of 234/4, and New Zealand could not even manage half of that, being bundled out for just 66 in 12.1 overs.

He broke free and clobbered Ferguson over mid-wicket for a huge six in the next ball. He hit Blair Tickner for three fours in the fifth over as India reached 44 for 1. Tripathi then pulled Santner over short-fine leg before coming down and lofting the left-arm spinner for a straight six. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep struck with his first delivery, as Conway lobbed a fuller delivery to Pandya at mid-off. New Zealand had a disastrous start to their massive run chase, losing four wickets in the first three overs itself.

Indian bowlers skittled out the Kiwis for a paltry 66 in 12.1 overs for a 2-1 series win. The visitors failed to recover from there and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Gill smacked seven sixes and 12 fours in his whirlwind innings. India's previous highest margin of victory was 143-run win over Ireland in Dublin in 2018. They were eventually bundled out for just 66 in 12.1 overs. Hardik with 4 for 16 in 4 overs was the wrecker-in-chief for the hosts, with fellow pacers Arshdeep Singh (2/16), Umran Malik (2/9) and Shivam Mavi (2/12) scalping two wickets each. Hardik gave India an early breakthrough by removing opener Finn Allen (3) in the first over, before pacer Arshdeep Singh bowled a double-wicket over, dismissing Devon Conway (1) and Mark Chapman (0).

India's second-highest margin of victory was 143-run win over Ireland in Dublin in 2018.

[Shubman Gill](https://www.outlookindia.com/topic/shubman-gill) smashed a whirlwind unbeaten maiden century in the shortest format as India thrashed New Zealand by 168 runs, their biggest ever win in terms of runs, in the third and final T20 International to pocket the hard-fought series 2-1 in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. Gill brought up his century with a four over the mid-off fielder off the bowling of Ferguson in the first ball of the 18th over. Young Rahul Tripathi (44 off 22), who has immense potential but yet to fire in the series, then struck Ferguson for a boundary and a six in consecutive balls to keep up the tempo. Earlier, the start was far from rosy for India after electing to bat as Mitchell Santner made a master-stroke decision by handing Michael Bracewell the second over and the off-spinner reposed his captain's faith by removing an out-of-form Ishan Kishan, who was adjudged LBW with the second ball of the over. New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner (13) and Daryl Mitchell (35) then added 32 runs for the sixth wicket before Shivam Mavi dismissed the former, caught by Suryakumar at deep midwicket fence as the left-hander tried to heave a short ball. New Zealand never got going in the huge chase as Indian bowlers performed in unison to bowl out the visitors for a mere 66 in 12.1 overs, the third lowest score for the Kiwis in this format.

'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.

Team India handed New Zealand a sound thrashing in the T20I series decider in Ahmedabad to extend their winning start to the new year and preserve Hardik ...

Sundar’s fighting knock had an instant impact — he was sent out to bat ahead of Pandya in the 100-run chase in Lucknow, where he ended up getting involved in a tangle with vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav. A major positive for the Black Caps, however, was the manner in which middle-order batter Daryl Mitchell performed in this series. After bossing the one-dayers in which he joined the 200-club in Hyderabad and followed it up with another ton in Indore, Gill had hit a roadblock with low returns in the first two T20Is, leading to some questioning his credentials as a T20 batter. Gill has given enough indication of the fact that he is in the form of his life at the moment. Many had expected the final white-ball game of the Indian home season to be a closely-fought affair, given the fight, the Black Caps had exhibited in the last two games. While Arshdeep finished the T20I series on a good note, his temperament and discipline remain an area he will have to put some work into. Daryl Mitchell and skipper Mitchell Santner tried adding some respectability to the New Zealand batting performance with a 32-run sixth-wicket stand, but it merely helped delay the inevitable as they would end up losing their last four wickets for just 13 runs, getting bundled out for a meagre 66. The Punjab Kings seamer was taken apart in the first T20I, where he ended up bowling a horror 27-run over that turned the tide in favour of the Black Caps. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. New Zealand produced an all-round performance in the first T20I in Ranchi to collect their first win of the ongoing tour of India. The two teams went into the decider at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on equal footing, with the Indian team having pulled off a nervy six-wicket win in Lucknow after suffering a 21-run loss in Ranchi last week. Team India handed New Zealand a sound thrashing in the T20I series decider in Ahmedabad to extend their winning start to the new year and preserve Hardik Pandya's unbeaten run as captain.

Santner cannot believe that he has found a fielder here, but he has to go back to the hut. He serves this full and on off, Lockie Ferguson clears his front leg and goes for the slog, but he loses his grip as he connects with the ball and hits it with the bottom half uppishly towards mid on. However, Suryakumar Yadav is there and he takes another great catch and does well to keep his balance to no go over the ropes. Rahul Tripathi here moves to his right and pouches it safely before rolling over on the ground. Shivam Mavi lands this short and on off, Mitchell Santner stays there and connects with his pull shot well towards the deep mid-wicket region. IN THE AIR AND GONE! Two wickets in the over for Shivam Mavi! This is turning out to be embarassing for the Kiwis. The Kiwis would like to eat up as many balls as possible to delay the victory for India.

Gill also became only the fifth Indian man – including Kohli and current captain Rohit Sharma – to record centuries across all three formats.

Whenever I hit a six, you told me ‘hold your shape the next ball.’ I was in that zone, but you told me to hold back (even when I was playing their best bowler Santner) and take on the other bowlers.” So I was eager to perform,” said the opener. 90 percent of the credit should to go to him because it was his vision.” The 23-year-old had put New Zealand’s bowling to the sword in the preceding ODIs as well, scoring 360 runs – the joint-most in a bilateral three-match series, alongside Pakistan skipper Babar Azam. His knock, laced with 12 fours and seven sixes, was the highest T20 score by an Indian, overtaking Kohli’s 122 not out. It was just his sixth T20 appearance.
