Gill completed his eighth century in 51 innings and became the batsman to reach the eighth ODI century in the least number of innings for India. In this case, he left behind Shikhar Dhawan, who completed his eighth century in ODIs in 57 innings.
Not only this, Gill is the second and fifth batsman of India to score a century in the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh. Before Gill, Joe Root, Rohit Sharma, Upul Tharanga and Chris Gayle have scored centuries in the Champions Trophy against this team. Gill may have scored a century, but this is the fourth slowest century by a batsman for India in ODIs since 2019. Gill scored a century in 125 balls and is fourth in this list.
Great partnership of Hridoy-Zakir
Earlier, Bangladesh set a target of 229 runs for India to win with the help of Tauhid Hridoy’s century and Zakir Ali’s half-century. After winning the toss and batting first, Bangladesh’s situation was bad at one time and it lost five wickets for just 35 runs, but Zakir and Hridoy handled Bangladesh’s innings with a great partnership. Zakir Ali and Tauheed Hridoy shared a 154-run partnership for the sixth wicket which is the highest partnership for the sixth or lower order wicket in the Champions Trophy. Hridoy returned to the pavilion after scoring 100 runs with the help of six fours and two sixes in 118 balls.
