Gill also broke the record for the highest score at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium set by Sachin Tendulkar (175) against Australia in 2009.
His innings came to an end in the last over when Glenn Phillips pulled out a stunner of a catch in the deep towards the deep midwicket region.
Winning the toss and batting first, India managed to get off to a decent start as Rohit Sharma and Gill safely played the first powerplay.
However, after Sharma fell prey to Tickner and Virat Kohli was bamboozled by a Santner snorter, the Indian innings wavered a bit. Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav tried to forge a partnership but could not last long.
Gill continued to hold the fort with the lower-middle order, reaching his third ODI century as well as becoming the fastest Indian to complete 1000 runs in the format. He reached the record in 19 innings, surpassing Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan in the process.
In the end, India managed to score 349/8 in the stipulated 50 overs. Apart from Gill, none of the Indian batters managed to reach the half-century mark.
