Shubman Gill Becomes Fastest To Score 2,500 ODI Runs In 50th Match
Narendra Modi Stadium: India’s vice-captain Shubman Gill continued his stellar form with a record-breaking century in the third and final One-day International against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Wednesday. The 25-year-old opener reached his seventh ODI hundred off just 95 balls, cementing his reputation as one of the most consistent batters in the format.
Gill’s milestone knock also saw him achieve two remarkable records. He became the fastest batter to reach 2,500 ODI runs, achieving the feat in his 50th match, surpassing South Africa’s Hashim Amla, who had previously held the record at 51 innings. Additionally, the Gujarat Titans captain reached 5000 international runs in just 131 innings across formats.
His impressive performances in the ODI series against England have also seen him climb to second place in the latest ICC ODI batting rankings, overtaking India skipper Rohit Sharma. Gill’s scores of 87 and 60 in the first two ODIs had already put him in contention for a top spot, and his century in Ahmedabad has further boosted his standing among the world’s elite batters.
