Rohit Sharma turned to Ishan Kishan and inquired as to why the left-hander. Who had scored a double century, was not selected.
The three Indian cricketers had a good time laughing when Kishan responded quickly with an excellent response.
Team India will play New Zealand in the second one-day international on Saturday in Raipur. Their top four will have three players who have scored a double-century.
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Ishan Kishan. Virat Kohli, a cricketer, is just four centuries away from breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most ODI hundreds.
Gill was the fifth Indian male cricketer to score a double hundred in an ODI. Making him the most recent addition.
The right-hander beat his friend Ishan Kishan. Who scored a double century against Bangladesh last month at the age of 24? To become the youngest player to reach the milestone in 50-over cricket.
It is interesting to note that Kishan was dropped right away following his double hundred. Because Gill was favored ahead of him, the left-handed pitcher did not play for India throughout the entire Sri Lanka series.
After KL Rahul was unable to play in the three-match series due to personal reasons. Kishan returned to the Indian team for the first ODI against New Zealand. There was, however, a catch to the opportunity.
As India continued to use the highly successful Rohit and Gill opening duo. Kishan was forced to bat in the middle order.
It paid off, as India once more got off to a fantastic start on Wednesday in Hyderabad. Rohit gave up another great opportunity when he mistimed a pull shot from Blair Tickner.
But Gill played one of the best innings of recent times to nearly take India to 349 for 8 and get them there. Gill scored 208 runs from 149 balls. His innings were punctuated by 19 fours and 9 sixes.
Rohit and Ishan wished the young right-hander from Punjab well after the match. In addition, the Indian captain wished him well as he joined the 200-club. Which now includes Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Shubman Gill.
In a BCCI-uploaded video, Rohit said, “From myself and Ishan, I would like to welcome you to the 200-club.”
The Indian captain then turned to Kishan and inquired as to why the left-hander. Who had scored a double century, was not selected. The three Indian cricketers had a good time laughing when Kishan responded quickly with an excellent response.
“Ishan, 200 banake 3 match nahi khela.” Ishan, despite scoring a 200, you didn’t play for three matches,” Rohit said.
Kishan’s response, “Brother, you are the captain,” split Gill and Rohit. “Bhaiyya captain toh aap ho”
“Aapko 4 number pe batting, accha lagta hai?” Would you like to bat at No. 4?)” Rohit inquired.
Ishan stated, “It’s nothing like that, I really like it,” and added, “Bohut acha lagta hai, Aisa Kuch Nahi hai.”
