Shubman Gill Shines in India VS New Zealand 3^rd T20I:

Shubman Gill made an impact at his IPL home ground. He used all his experience of playing at the Motera (previously) and smacked the bowlers all over the park in the India VS New Zealand 3rd T20I. His timing was looking decent early on but as he spent more time on the pitch, it just got better. With that being said, he neutralized every opposition bowler. Mitchell Santner who was bothering India during the entire tour was not allowed to settle. He used his feet against Santner. His shots post his 50 showed that he is blooming in confidence. Gill played in the V and still managed to hit many sixes. It was a combination of technique and power. He scored a marvelous 126 runs off 63 balls only and remained not out.

Indian Bowlers Impress:

The Indian bowlers were mighty impressive too. Arshdeep Singh came back with a vengeance after the first game in the India VS New Zealand T20 Series. He had given away 27 runs in the last over in the 1^st game but this was his time. He swung the ball wild. It was poor shot selection by the Kiwis and the sheer class of Arshdeep that produced two crucial wickets. Umran Malik was spiting fire too. He was bowling as quickly as it gets. He smashed the stumps once and the bail flew to the 30-yard circle!
