With all the big names being rested for the 3 match ODI series, the chance for some of the younger stars came calling. Someone who was looked at the brightest young stars is none other 22 year old Shubman Gill.

Shubman Gill smashes a huge 104 meter six –
Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill made their way to the middle and started out slow. The two scored just 44 runs in the 1st ten overs of the game before they cut loose. It was Hayden Walsh who saw Gill make his way down the track and hit him over the top for a huge six. The ball sailed way over the boundary and went outside the ground for a six which was measured at 104 meters.
