The time for the World Cup 2023 is approaching. And Team India's tempo is slowly getting higher. On Sunday, India defeated the visiting Kangaroos by 2 runs in the second ODI (Ind vs Aus 99nd ODI) to take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the series. And if that happens, the big contributors were Shubman Gill (104), Shreyas Iyer (105) and Suryakumar Yadav (52). However, despite Gill scoring a century, veteran Sehwag did not appear happy with him. Viru says Gill should have made his innings bigger.

If he had played 9-10 more overs, he could have completed his second double century. Rohit Sharma has scored three double centuries. Gill had a chance in the second ODI. This is a pitch on which a player named Sehwag has scored a double century.
