Top 10 funny memes as Team India score 234/4 in the 1st innings of 3rd T20I against New Zealand

Team India posted a mammoth total of 234/4 in the third T20I against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 1. The three-match series is currently leveled at 1-1.

It was a day to forget for the New Zealand bowlers on a batter's paradise. Team India captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bat first in the contest.

Michael Bracewell dismissed Ishan Kishan (1) in the second over to give his side an early breakthrough. It proved to be the only positive for the visitors throughout the first innings.

Rahul Tripathi (44) and Shubman Gill played an aggressive brand of cricket and optimized the field restrictions in the powerplay. Both players looked in great rhythm as they smashed bowlers all over the park during their 80-run stand for the second wicket.

After Tripathi perished in the ninth over, Gill continued in the same vein and motored along fluently. He played sensibly till the 15th over and reached his half-century before exploding in the death overs.

Shubman Gill displayed his fierce avatar in the final five overs of the innings as he accelerated at full throttle to power India to a daunting total of 234. During this period, Gill reached his maiden T20I century in just 54 balls to announce his arrival in the shortest format of the game.

Suryakumar Yadav (24) and Hardik Pandya (30) chipped in with useful cameos to assist him.
