He also broke the record for being the youngest player to do so. With the aid of 19 fours and nine sixes, Gill destroyed the Kiwi bowlers for 208 runs to win the match.

A number of present and past players have lavished admiration on the 23-year-old hitter. Sanjay Manjrekar, a former cricketer for India, has since lauded Gill and said that the young batsman can routinely hit straight sixes, exactly like Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

When I first watched Dhoni, I knew he would be reliable when it came to big hitting since he primarily struck straight sixes. Gill also possesses a talent. Sanjay Manjrekar tweeted, "Prayers for him."

Along with scoring his first double ODI tonne, Gill needed 19 innings to accumulate 1000 runs in ODIs, which is tied for the second-fastest time in history with Imam-ul-Haq.

With 18 innings under his belt, Fakhar Zaman has reached the milestone the quickest. The two Indians who reached 1000 ODI runs the fastest previously were Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan (24 innings).

With New Zealand in serious danger at 131-6 while chasing 350, India appeared to be coasting to win going into the match after opener Gill recorded only the 10th double hundred in ODI history.

Fast bowlers Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj of India limited New Zealand with their disciplined early bowling but Bracewell's late pyrotechnics gave them hope of an amazing victory.

At the top of the order, Finn Allen scored a relaxed 40, but after Siraj dismissed Latham for the sixth wicket, New Zealand was in serious trouble.

When left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner joined Bracewell, they shared a remarkable 162-run partnership by hitting 57 of 45 balls together. However, Siraj eventually broke their partnership.Despite hitting 12 fours and 10 sixes, Bracewell lost the match because Siraj, the best Indian bowler, had stats of 4-46.
