- 019.6Take a bowTake a bow, Shubman Gill! He has shown everyone that he belongs in this format as well with an incredible hundred. He becomes the fifth Indian to score a ton in all three formats. This is also the highest total by any team against New Zealand in this format. In the last game, we saw 200 being scored in almost 40 overs, and here India have managed well beyond that in the first innings itself
