Umpteen records shattered and scripted in the first ODI between India and New Zealand in Hyderabad on Wednesday (January 18). Riding on Shubman Gill's record-shattering double century India edged past New Zealand by 12 runs. Batting first India posted a colossal total of 349/8, thanks to Gill's 208 off 149 which was decorated with 19 fours and six sixes. In reply, New Zealand fought dig deep riding on the back of counter-attacking innings from 140 off 78 but ran out of steam as they were folded for 337 runs. Mohammed Siraj, who recently grabbed third spot in the ODI bowling rankings, was the pick of the bowlers for India as he snared 4/46.
Meanwhile, let's have a look at the list of records which rained in the first ODI against India and Kiwis.
1. Gill, first to hit double ton against Kiwis
The 23-year-old Gill became the first player to clobber a double ton in ODIs against Black Caps. He bested the unbeaten knock of 186 by India's batting legend Sachin Tendulkar which came back in 1999 at Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium as it was the previous highest individual score against Kiwis.

5. Record of difference
The difference of 174 runs between Gill (208) and the next highest scorer (Rohit Sharma's 34) is the third biggest such margin in an innings. The highest such difference is 198 runs when Rohit Sharma hit 264 and the next highest score was Virat Kohli's 66 against Sri Lanka, in Kolkata, in 2014.
6. Bracewell's string of records
Michael Bracewell became the second batter in the history of ODI cricket to score multiple hundreds batting at no.7 or below after MS Dhoni. This was his second three-figure score in ODIs after smashing an unbeaten 127 off just 82 balls in a chase of 301, after walking in at 120/5 against Ireland in Dublin last July. Overall, his 140 is the joint third-highest individual score for a player batting at seven or lower in ODIs.
57 balls taken by Bracewell is the third fastest ODI century for New Zealand behind Corey Anderson (36 balls) and Jesse Ryder (46 balls), both of whom achieved the feat against the West Indies in Queenstown on the New Year's Day in 2014. Only Shahid Afridi - in 45 balls in Kanpur in 2005 - has reached hundred in fewer deliveries against India.
The 162-run partnership between Bracewell and Santner is the third highest stand for seventh wicket or below in ODI cricket and the highest ever for New Zealand, bettering 123 by Jacob Oram & Neil Broom against Bangladesh in Napier in 2010. It was also the highest against India surpassing 148 by Mahmudullah & Mehidy Hasan in Mirpur last month.
