During this time, Gill became the game's youngest player to score an ODI double century (208). In the second ODI in Raipur, Gill and Rohit combined for a first-wicket score of 72 runs. In this game, India batted second and needed to score 209 runs to win.

Earlier this month, Rohit and Gill put on 95 runs for the first wicket in the third and final ODI against Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram. After dismissing the Lankans for 73 runs to seal a 317-run victory, which is also the largest victory margin in One Day cricket in terms of runs, Gill's century (116) helped India record a massive 390/5.
