Entering the third T20I with the series level 1-1, India put up a complete show to hand the visitors a crushing 168 run win and pocket the series 2-1.

After electing the field first at the Narendra Modi Stadium, it was Gill who once again stole the show. The opener has been in stellar form and he continued his dominant run. Though India lost Ishan Kishan in just the second over, Gill steadied the ship with Rahul Tripathi.

The pair put up a dazzling second wicket stand of 80 off 42 to set India up for a big total. While Suryakumar Yadav (24 off 13) and skipper Hardik Pandya (30 off 17) chipped in with crucial knocks, it was Gill who stole the show.

The opener, scoring at a strike rate of 200, smashed an unbeaten 63-ball 126 to guide India to 234/4. His scintillating knock was peppered with seven sixes and twelve boundaries.

Gill topples Kohli from the top

Gill’s knock saw him register the highest score by an Indian in T20Is. Lying second on the list in Virat Kohli. Gill’s knock saw him replace the former skipper from the top position.

Kohli lies second on the table with an unbeaten 122 off 61. Kohli’s dazzling knock had come against Afghanistan last year, during the Asia Cup. Incidentally, it was the former Indian skipper’s maiden T20I ton.

Making up the top three is skipper Rohit Sharma. Rohit and Kohli had both been rested for the T20I series against New Zealand. Rohit’s highest T20I score is a smashing 43-ball 118. Rohit’s dazzling innings came against Sri Lanka back in 2017.

Rohit held the top spot for almost five years, before Kohli overtook him in September last year.

The fourth and the fifth highest T20I score goes to Suryakumar Yadav. The Indian batter has been in sensational form. His 117 off 55 against England in Nottingham last year sees him sit on the fourth place.

Sky, who has been a force to reckon with in T20s, also registered the fifth highest score. He hammered an unbeaten 112 off 51 against Sri Lanka in Rajkot in January this year. While Sky makes up the top five, Gill’s knock is the one which sits pretty on top of the table.

Hardik leads the way

Gill has been in sensational form in both ODI’s and T20Is and he ended the New Zealand series on a smashing note, hammering his maiden T20I ton.

While India put up a dazzling show with the bat, the bowlers also were at their clinical best. Skipper Pandya, who played a quick fire knock, led the way with the ball. Hardik pocketed a four-wicket haul, that saw New Zealand fold for 66 in 12.1 overs.

Arshdeep Singh, Shivam Ravi and Umran Malik chipped in with two wickets each as India wrapped up the T20I series on a smashing note.
