Shubman Gill Breaks Sachin Tendulkar’s Record As India Whitewash The Series Against Zimbabwe

Harare: India whitewash Zimbabwe by registering their third ODI win on Monday by 13 runs at the Harare Sports Academy.

Skipper KL Rahul won the toss and elected to bat first in the innings. The opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul managed a quick start but failed to hold on to their wickets as Dhawan scored 40 runs while KL Rahul managed to add 30 runs.

Shubman Gill played a fierce innings and scored his maiden ODI ton at the Harare Ground. With these innings, Gill proved his abilities to the side as well as to himself with an innings of 130 runs including 15 fours and one six.
