Shubman Gill slammed his maiden double century off just 145 balls during the first ODI encounter between India and New Zealand in Hyderabad on Wednesday. He became the fifth Indian cricketer ever to achieve the feat and his innings was adorned with 19 boundaries and eight massive sixes. Earlier, the feat was achieved by Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. He also became the youngest cricketer to hit a double century in ODIs - a record previously held by Kishan. It was a near-perfect performance for the youngster who looked completely in control against the New Zealand bowlers. He stitched together a solid 50-run partnership with Rohit for the opening wicket and although Rohit was dismissed, Gill continued without any discomfort on the pitch with an even bounce. The right-hander continued to play his shots even when India lost two quick wickets in the form of Virat Kohli and Ishan Kishan.

By Abhijit Banare Oct 17, 2014 A disinterested West Indies team went down to India by 59 runs in the fourth One-Day International (ODI) at Dharamsala. The match lacked the desired intensity from the visitors amidst concerns that the tour has been called off. The Indians though put up a solid performance led by Virat Kohli’s 127 scoring 330 . West Indies hardly showed any intention of chasing the challenging total. After hanging around for a while, Dwayne Smith departed for a 11-ball duck. Kieron Pollard walked in at No 3 only to nudge around and allow the required rate to creep up. On some other day, the team chasing would’ve gone for some calculated risks at least. While Pollard was going for a few unorthodox shots to no success, Darren Bravo was content shouldering his arms to anything outside off. By the time Pollard was caught in the slips, he had already consumed 31 deliveries. In other words a match-losing innings looking at the target. Smith and Pollard together … [Read more...] about India complete dominating 59-run win over West Indies in 4th ODI; Kohli, Samuels hammer tons

Hardik Pandya was dismissed in controversial fashion as the umpire's decision left Indian fans disappointed during the first ODI encounter between India and New Zealand in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The delivery from Mitchell Santner cramped Pandya for room and due to the extra bounce, the Indian batsman ended up missing it completely.
