Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer showcased their exceptional batting skills in the second ODI match of the series against Australia in Indore. Gill continued his fantastic form in ODI cricket, scoring his fifth century of the year and sixth overall. He reached his century in just 92 balls, becoming the fastest Indian batter to achieve six ODI centuries. This record was previously held by Shikhar Dhawan, who took 46 innings to reach the milestone.

Joining the elite list of players, including Sachin Tendulkar, Graeme Smith, Upul Tharanga, and Virat Kohli, Gill has now scored five or more ODI centuries in a calendar year before the age of 25. His brilliant innings of 104 runs off 97 balls included 6 fours and 4 sixes.

On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer, who recently returned from a lengthy injury layoff, also made a significant impact in the match. Batting at the number three position, Iyer played a crucial role in India’s World Cup preparations. He scored his third ODI century in just 86 balls, providing a much-needed boost to the team. Iyer’s innings of 105 runs off 90 balls included 11 fours and 3 sixes.

Iyer’s ability to perform consistently at number three in ODIs was evident throughout the series, as he accumulated 642 runs in 11 innings at an impressive average of 58.36. However, his inning came to an end when he was caught by Matthew Short at deep midwicket off the bowling of Sean Abbott.

Both Gill and Iyer’s exceptional centuries in the match have undoubtedly strengthened India’s batting lineup and provided a positive outlook for the upcoming World Cup. This remarkable display of batting skills by the young talents proves their immense potential and contribution to the team’s success.
