Laughter broke out when Indian skipper Rohit Sharma asked Ishan Kishan in a hilarious way, “why despite scoring 200 you sat out for 3 games”. “Bhaiya yeh to aap btaoge, captain to aap ho,” a quick reply came from Kishan, who was included in the side in the 1st ODI against New Zealand after the left-hander was snubbed from ODIs against Sri Lanka. Rohit was blasted for snubbing Kishan and Suryakumar from the first two ODIs against Sri Lanka.
“But it’s ok. Everything makes you learn something.” And when Rohit again asked Ishan if he likes batting at number 4, Kishan emphasised, “Yes, I like batting at number 4 as well.”

Meanwhile, Shubman Gill became the youngest batsman to score an ODI double hundred on Wednesday as India beat New Zealand by 12 runs in a thrilling first game of a three-match series. The 23-year-old Gill hit 208 off 149 balls, his third ODI hundred, and became the fifth Indian batsman to score a double century in the format after Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan.
When Rohit asked Gill how did it feel scoring a double-hundred, he said “It felt pretty amazing…I couldn’t go big in the 1st and 3rd ODI of the Sri Lanka series but in this match, I was on 100 again…had an opportunity to do it…it paid off.”
