Team India’s opener Shubman Gill was adjudged the Player of the Series as Shikhar Dhawan’s team defeated West Indies 3-0 in the ODI series. Gill scored his career-best score of 98 not out and unfortunately did not score his maiden ODI century as rain interrupted the game for the second time.
Gill’s innings hit two sixes and seven fours and faced 98 balls. One of those two sixes was a big six that actually landed outside the stadium.
a Well set up Gill dances to the track And hit a monstrous six off a good bouncy ball from Hayden Walsh. It came in the 15th over of the game when Gill launched the leg-break at long-on for a maximum. It was a 104m six and the ball went outside the stadium.

The Punjab and Gujarat Titans opener scored 205 runs in the three-match series, including two half-centuries. The young batsman said not reaching his maiden ODI century was ‘bitter-sweet’.
“It was bitter, I was expecting a score of 100. It was not in my control because of the rain, but I was happy with my innings,” Gill said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Gill scored 63 and 41 in the first two matches and was criticized for throwing his wicket away in the first two matches. “I was disappointed with getting out in the first two games, I tried to rotate the strike. After the rain break, we let our instincts take over. When we got out before the last break, all I needed was one more over. The wickets were good, I thought the ball was gripping after 25-30 overs, but they were fantastic,” Gill said.
