India bagged yet another bilateral rubber at home defeating New Zealand by a record margin to keep the visitors waiting for their maiden series win on Indian soil. Gujarat Titans duo of Shubman Gill (126* off 63) and skipper Hardik Pandya (30 off 17 and 4-16) dominated New Zealand in the decider of the closely fought series.

Stats highlights from the third T20I in Ahmedabad:

At 23 years & 146 days, Gill became the second youngest player from any team to complete the triple after Ahmed Shehzad who was just 22 years & 127 days when he achieved the feat in 2014.
