Shubman Gill Scores 200: Full List of Batsmen Who Have Scored Double Hundred in ODI Cricket

Scoring a century in any format of the game is in itself a difficult task. Now imagine scoring a double hundred, that too, in a 50-over game. Shubman Gill became the latest entrant in the list of batters to score a double hundred in ODIs, him achieving the feat during the India vs New Zealand 1st ODI 2023 on Wednesday, January 18. The young right-hander made this a special double ton as he became the youngest in history (23 years and 132 days) to achieve such a feat. He eventually finished on 208 off just 149 deliveries with 19 fours and nine towering sixes. What was a highlight of this knock was the ease at which he played his classy shots on both sides of the wicket as he took on to Kiwi bowlers, hitting them to all parts of the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Gill also became the fifth Indian and second in recent times to score a double hundred in ODIs.  Shubman Gill Scores Double Hundred in IND vs NZ 1st ODI 2023, Becomes Youngest Batsman To Achieve Feat.
