He along with Shubman Gill registered a fantastic partnership of 212 runs for the opening wicket to help Team India set New Zealand a monstrous target of 386 runs. Gill brought up his second century of the series by smashing 112 runs off just 78 balls, an inning that included 13 fours and five sixes. With his latest contribution, Gill equalled Pakistan captain Babar Azam for scoring the most number of runs (360) in a three-match ODI series.

After both Rohit and Gill were dismissed, Team India lost several wickets in quick succession and this caused their run rate to slow down. Just when it seemed that New Zealand had regained their foothold in the match, the duo of Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur provided a strong finish for the Men in Blue towards the end of the innings. Hardik smacked 54 runs off just 38 deliveries while Thakur scored 25 runs off 17 balls.
