IND vs WI: “Was hoping to get a hundred,” says Shubman Gill after being denied his maiden ton due to rain

India once again played notably well and have performed as a better side in the 3 match ODI clash against the Windies. Already clinching the hands on the cup, India went on to finish off the series by a whitwash win, giving team India a historical victory and that too under the captaincy of Shikhar Dhawan.

Rain returned to Trinidad, leaving Shubman Gill stuck on run-a-ball 98*, two runs short of what would have been his first international hundred. In turn, India’s innings was unexpectedly ended at 225/3 after 36 overs due to the loss of overs. In the third and final ODI at Queen’s Park Oval, West Indies will need to chase 257 in 35 overs after DLS modifications.

“Was hoping to get a hundred, but that (rain) was not under my control. Was very disappointed how I got out in the first two ODIs. I tried to play according to the ball and let the instincts take over. I wanted only one more over, was hoping for that. The wicket played fantastically in all the three games. The ball was gripping a bit after 30 overs. Happy with my performance,” said Shubman Gill
