Rohit is sometimes ahead of Gill, who won the race to complete the century?

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill wreaked havoc with the bat in the third ODI against New Zealand. Together they thrashed the Kiwi bowlers a lot. Rohit and Gill shared a 212-run partnership together. Both entertained everyone a lot with their batting, but the race between Gill and Rohit was more fun than the batting of the two. In the third match between the Indian captain and Gill, there was a tremendous race to complete the century first. The contest between the two started from the very first ball of the match, but it happened after the thrilling 12th over.

When Rohit was on 42, Gill hit a four and completed his half-century in 33 balls. Rohit completed his half-century by hitting the first ball of the 14th over for a six. After this, Rohit became more aggressive and in the next over he went ahead of Gill by hitting 3 fours.
