Gill achieved a career-best position after smashing a match-winning century against New Zealand in the third and final ODI in Ahmedabad recently.

The swashbuckling batter has been nominated along with three other players for the award. Sam Curran, Sikandar Raza and Mohammad Rizwan are also in contention for the coveted award.

Mukesh Kumar has also been called up to the T20 squad. Apart from Rohit Sharma, this team is missing Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. Suryakumar Yadav has been named the T20 team’s vice-captain.

He has also widened the rating points gap with the second-ranked batter Mohammad Rizwan. Currently, Suryakumar has 890 points while Rizwan has 836 points.

The batter accomplished this feat in his side’s final Super 12 stage match against Zimbabwe at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

KL Rahul (13), Virat Kohli (15) and skipper Rohit Sharma (16) are all static in the latest update. Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is placed third ahead of South Africa’s Aiden Markram and Devon Conway of New Zealand.

It was a sort of underwhelming outing for India with the bat as they kept losing big players at regular intervals. Some players did get starts but they could not capitalise.

Suryakumar smashed six sixes and as many fours in his sizzling 28-ball 68-run knock against Hong Kong to help India grab a place in the Super 4 stage of the tournament on Wednesday.

A huge 119-run partnership followed between centurion Suryakumar Yadav (117*) and Shreyas Iyer (28) followed and gave India a chance in the match.

Ishan Kishan once again was not at his fluent best and ended with 34 off 31 balls. India smashed 86 runs in the last five overs.

India lost the third Test by an innings and 76 runs but skipper Virat Kohli despite the consistent failures of the middle-order is bullish about playing five specialist bowlers.

The 30-year-old from Mumbai clinched the man of the series award for amassing 124 runs with a highest score of 53 in his debut ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Shreyas Iyer’s dislocated shoulder has once again brought Yadav in focus and his ODI debut, after a blockbuster T20 first outing, looks imminent after an all-round show by the hosts ensured an easy victory in the first game.
