Team India defeated New Zealand in the third ODI and whitewashed the Black Caps in 💫the three-match series at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore.
The tourists won the toss and elected to bowl first, but the decision went terribly wrong, with India putting up a strong batting performance. The opening duo of Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma completely domina🥀ted the proceedings, with both hitting their respective centuries.
While Gill smashed 112 off 78 balls with the help of 13 fours and 5 sixes, captain Rohit scored 101 from 85 deliveries, including 9 fours and 6 sixes. All-rounder Hardik Pandya provided the late flourish by slamming 54 off 38 balls, hitting 3 fours and as many maximums to take India’s total to 385/9 in 50 overs.
In response, New Zealand’s Devon Conway smashed a fighting century but didn’t get enough support from the rest of the batters as the visitors fell 90 runs short. Conway scored 138 off 100 balls, including 12 fours and 8 sixes. For the hosts, Shardul Thakur (3/45) and Kuldeep Yadav (3/62) picked up three wickets each, while Yuzvendra Chahal (2/43) bagged two scalps.
Shardul was named Player of the Match for his brillia💫nt performance, while opener Shubman was adjudged Player of the Series for his consistent show throughout the three ODIs.
