Team India defeated
New Zealand in the third ODI and whitewashed the Black Caps in the three-match series at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore.
The tourists won the toss and elected to bowl first, but the decision went terribly wrong, with India putting up a strong batting performance. The opening duo of
Shubman Gill and
Rohit Sharma completely dominated the proceedings, with both hitting their respective centuries.
While Gill smashed 112 off 78 balls with the help of 13 fours and 5 sixes, captain Rohit scored 101 from 85 deliveries, including 9 fours and 6 sixes. All-rounder
Hardik Pandya provided the late flourish by slamming 54 off 38 balls, hitting 3 fours and as many maximums to take India’s total to 385/9 in 50 overs.
In response, New Zealand’s
Devon Conway smashed a fighting century but didn’t get enough support from the rest of the batters as the visitors fell 90 runs short. Conway scored 138 off 100 balls, including 12 fours and 8 sixes. For the hosts,
Shardul Thakur (3/45) and
Kuldeep Yadav (3/62) picked up three wickets each, while
Yuzvendra Chahal (2/43) bagged two scalps.
Shardul was named Player of the Match for his brilliant performance, while opener Shubman was adjudged Player of the Series for his consistent show throughout the three ODIs.
