Scorecard
Shubman Gill hit a fine double century as India beat New Zealand by 12 runs in a suspenser in Hyderabad.
Opener Gill smashed 19 fours and nine sixes in his innings of 208 from 149 balls, reaching his 200 with three consecutive sixes off Lockie Ferguson.
New Zealand looked out of the contest when they slipped to 131- 6, but Michael Bracewell conjoined 140 off 78 balls.
Just as it looked like the excursionists might pull off an doubtful palm, Mohammed Siraj took two quick lattices.
Siraj finished with 4- 46, including the gate of Mitchell Santner, who participated 162 for the seventh gate with Bracewell.
At the age of 23 times and 132 days, Gill becomes the youthful man to hit a double ton in a one- day transnational.
He's the eighth men's batter to achieve the feat and the fifth Indian.
Captain Rohit Sharma, who has hit three ODI double hundreds in his career- including the record 264- was the alternate-loftiest arranger with just 34.
New Zealand could have dismissed Gill for 45 when he danced down the track to Bracewell and edged through to Tom Latham, but the wicketkeeper put down the catch and was also unfit to take the stumping chance with Gill out of his crinkle.
After reaching his partial century off 52 balls, Gill accelerated through his innings, demanding 35 further deliveries to reach his ton and 35 further to move to 150.
He also launched a brutal attack on the New Zealand bowlers in the final overs to move from 151 to 200 in just 23 deliveries, smashing 39 runs off his final 12 balls.
He hit Ferguson for three successive sixes, pulling one wide delivery over fine leg before two booming drives over long- out, to reach 200.
Gill also becomes the common-alternate-fastest men's player to reach,000 ODI runs in just 19 appearances.
He was ultimately dismissed in the final over thanks to a fine catch by Glenn Phillips at deepmid-wicket off the bowling of Henry Shipley, who ended with numbers of 2- 74 from nine overs.
Santner, who took the prize gate of Virat Kohli for just eight, was the only New Zealand bowler to go for lower than six an over, taking 1- 56.
