Shubman Gill Breaks Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar's Record

Shubman Gill smashed his maiden international cricket century against Zimbabwe on Monday in the third and final ODI match.

Gill recently missed out on his century when he was unbeaten on 98 in the previous series against the West Indies. The right-hand batter batted at number three and scored his maiden century in just 82 deliveries, with wickets falling from the other end. By doing so, Gill joined the ranks of great Indian batters such as Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, and Virat Kohli.

To begin with, Gill has surpassed India skipper Rohit Sharma on the list of the youngest Indian batters to achieve a century outside of India. In addition, he is one of the three youngest Indian batsmen to make an overseas century in ODI cricket.
