Gill came in to bat after the fall of skipper Prithvi Shaw and remained unbeaten on 102, taking his personal tally to 341 runs in the tournament at an average of over 150.

The right-hander from Punjab also became the first-ever batsman to score a century in India-Pakistan contests in the Under-19 World Cups with previous highest being Salman Butt's 85* at Lincoln in 2002.

It was also Gill's fourth 50-plus score in the recently-concluded edition of the World Cup – 63, 90*, 86 and 102*.

India's top-scorer Gill, who scored a total of 372 runs in the tournament, was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 1.8 crore in the Indian Premier League 2018 Auction.
