On Tuesday in Indore, Gill scored 112 runs off of 78 balls, his fourth ODI century and second of the series.
The series began in Hyderabad, where the series’ opening batsman scored 208 runs to become the fifth Indian to score a double century in one-day international cricket.
With his 40 in the second ODI of the series, Gill has now scored 360 runs in the bilateral series.
Those runs are tied for the most ever scored by a hitter in a three-game or shorter bilateral ODI series.
Babar Azam scored 360 runs in a 2016 series against the West Indies, scoring centuries in all three games.
Gill has gotten off to a fantastic start in ODIs, scoring 1254 runs in 21 games at an impressive average of 73.76 and a strike rate of 109.80.
Earlier in the series, in his 19th ODI innings, the youngster reached 1000 runs, making him the fastest Indian and the second-fastest player overall to do so.
After the hosts won the toss and elected to bat first in Indore, he and Rohit Sharma put together a double-century stand to put India in control of the match.
Five of Gill and Rohit’s six opening partnerships in ODIs have gone for fifty or more runs.
