Shubman Gill, a young Indian cricketer, made headlines by scoring his seventh century in One Day Internationals (ODIs) during the third ODI against England in Ahmedabad. At just 25 years old, Gill became the quickest player in the world to reach 2,500 runs in ODIs. He achieved this milestone in his 50th ODI match, breaking the previous record held by South African cricketer Hashim Amla, who reached this mark in his 53rd innings.
During the match, Gill needed only 25 runs to hit 2,500 and did it by hitting a four (a type of scoring shot) on the fifth ball of the 10th over. He ended up scoring a total of 112 runs before being out. He has been in excellent form lately; in the first ODI of the series, he scored 87 runs, and in the second ODI, he got 60 runs.
Gill has an impressive batting average of over 60 in ODIs and was ranked No. 2 in the ICC ODI batter ratings just before the third ODI, surpassing his captain, Rohit Sharma. Gill has 781 rating points compared to Rohit’s 773, while Babar Azam from Pakistan remains the top ODI batter with 786 points
