Rohit ends long wait for ton as India registers dominating series win

Rohit Sharma scored his first ODI hundred in three years while Shubman Gill continued his domination with another sublime ton as India completed a clean sweep with a 90-run win over New Zealand in the third match on Tuesday, January 24. Batsmen from both sides lit up the dead rubber clash as 680 runs were scored at Indore's Holkar Stadium.

Rohit (101 off 85 balls) got to the three-figure mark for the first time since January 2020 while Gill (112 off 78 deliveries) scored his fourth ODI hundred to take Team India to 385 runs for the loss of nine wickets. Following twin failures, the New Zealand top-order put up a much better show. Devon Conway (138) stitched crucial partnerships with various partners but Shardul Thakur (3/45) and Kuldeep Yadav (3/62) regularly struck to bowl out New Zealand for 295 runs in 41.2 overs.
