Explore Shubman Gill's remarkable performance as Indian Test captain against England, with insights from Mark Butcher. Discover key highlights from K L Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Former England cricketer Praises Gill for his stellar performances

Shubman Gill shines as Indian Test captain with remarkable performances against England. Mark Butcher praises Gill, alongside contributions from K L Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Former England cricketer praises Gill for his stellar performances

Mark Butcher lauds Shubman Gill's rise as Indian Test captain in the India-England series. Gill&rsquo;s stellar form sees him amass 585 runs in four innings, alongside impactful performances from K L Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Shubman Gill's technically sound game and serene temperament has left quite an impression on former England opener Mark Butcher, who feels the Indian Test captain has taken ownership of Virat Kohli's number four spot quite comfortably despite the "enormous scrutiny".
Butcher, who has been commentating in the ongoing India-England Test series, has been left in awe of the visitors' batters especially Gill, K L Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal. All three go to Lord's for the third Test starting July 10 with hundreds against their names.
Gill's staggering performance includes three hundreds and has catapulted his average into the 40s from mid 35s in just two Tests.
Speaking to PTI, Butcher said what Gill has done in his first series as captain is beyond special.
"There aren't many jobs in world sport that come with as much pressure and scrutiny as being Indian cricket captain, right? Not to mention you're filling in Kohli's spot in the order, or Tendulkar's spot in the order (both held number four spot).
"So the pressures were enormous. And so far, he's taken to it like a duck to water. He's just looked very, very comfortable, very serene in terms of his temperament," said the 52-year-old, who played 71 Tests for England between 1997 and 2004.
There were some questions over Gill's temperament and technique ahead of the series but the 25-year-old shut that debate for the foreseeable future with 585 runs in four innings.
"And technically, he's played beautifully as well. So what a great start to the series. I mean, he might have some records in his side by the end of it. He's passed enough already. So what's he got? 600 already in the series. It has been an incredible start.
"And England will have to come up with an answer for him in that middle order, because they obviously feel, that you get past the top three or four...and then there are bounties to be had a bit further down the order,&rdquo; he said referring to India's brittle lower-order.
Love watching KL Rahul, Jaiswal obsessed with batting =================================== Butcher eyes widen while talking about Rahul, who has performed well at both up and down the batting order over the past 24 months.
Following Rohit Sharma's retirement, the opening pairing of Jaiswal and Rahul has been an instant hit.
"Every time I've seen KL play, so we go back to the 2021 series here in England, and he batted at the top of the order with Rohit," said Butcher.
"So technically, he just looks very, very suited to top-order batting, really. And the fact that he's now going to have a long run, hopefully, in that position, his average will go upwards of 40 very, very quickly because technically he's fabulous. He's a great player to watch.
"I really love watching him bat. And Jaiswal is just a generational talent. The number three thing is a little bit sticky for India. It was a bit harsh on (Sai) Sudharsan after the first Test for him to find himself on the outside. And now Karun Nair's had, sort of three, four failures over the course of the series." Butcher said India must decide on a number three and stick to him for a while.
"...you have to kind of make your choice and stick with it for a while because clearly, facing the new ball is difficult. People are going to get out for low scores. But you have to make your decision on who you think is the guy that's going to fulfil that position." On Jaiswal, Butcher said that he has an apparent weakness against the short ball into the body but he has somehow dealt with it effectively.
"Jaiswal just loves batting by the looks of it. I was talking to Kumar Sangakkara about him, obviously knows him from time at the IPL. And he just says he's obsessed by batting and scoring runs.
"And he does it in a beautifully pleasing way. For somebody who's so young and so relatively inexperienced to sort of look as comfortable at the top of the order in all these different conditions, is magnificent.
Is his short-ball play in need of improvement? "Yeah, possibly (he has a short ball weakness). It hasn't cost him his wicket as yet. But it'll be something that he'll work on, I'm sure. And England have had a little bit of success against him around the wicket as well," he pointed out.
"But as I've said, he's so sort of obsessed with batting and with improving. I'm sure he'll come up with an answer for it," said Butcher.
Butcher the musician and songwriter ======================== Besides cricket, Butcher loves his music that includes song-writing. He draws inspiration for his music from the happenings in the world. One of his albums was inspired by experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Does he love his music more than cricket? "I've been very lucky. Since I was 17 years old, I haven't had to do what I would class as a proper day's work. I've been a cricket player, musician, songwriter, commentator. And all of those things are passions of mine. I love them all equally.
"And I've been very fortunate to have made a living out of doing it. I'm touching wood that I'll continue to do that until I can no longer," added Butcher.

Shubman Gill leads India to a historic Test victory at Edgbaston, becoming the youngest Indian to achieve this overseas. The win boosts the team's momentum with Gill's outstanding performance and team effort.

Gill Leads India to Historic Test Win

Shubman Gill breaks records leading India to a victorious 336-run Test match at Edgbaston. Achieving his first win as a Test captain, Gill surpasses Gavaskar's record and brings a morale boost to the team.

Shubman Gill, 25, leads India to a record overseas Test win in Edgbaston, breaking Gavaskar's record. India secures a 336-run victory, marking their first win at this venue in nine attempts, boosting team morale.

In an exhilarating turn of events at Edgbaston, Shubman Gill etched his name in the annals of cricket history by guiding India to a landmark victory, marking his first triumph as a Test captain. At just 25 years and 301 days, Gill surpassed the legendary Sunil Gavaskar's record, becoming the youngest Indian captain to secure an overseas Test victory.
&ldquo;This is a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life,&rdquo; Gill expressed in a BCCI video, hinting at the emotional significance this milestone holds in his burgeoning career. He fondly recalled taking the decisive catch of England's last batter, sealing a record 336-run victory &mdash; a first for India at this venue after nine attempts.
With three crucial matches remaining, Gill emphasized the boost this win has given the team. &ldquo;The momentum is now with us,&rdquo; he said, following his stellar personal performance, which saw him amass over 400 runs, including a maiden double-century.
Complementing Gill's leadership, the contributions from the entire squad were noteworthy, making the triumph a true team effort. &ldquo;Everyone stepped up, whether with the ball or bat, showcasing what a champion team is about,&rdquo; Gill remarked.
Rishabh Pant, India&rsquo;s vice-captain, echoed Gill's sentiments, noting the achievement's significance in rewriting India's cricketing narrative at Edgbaston. He emphasized the team's commitment to learning from past performances and setting new benchmarks. &ldquo;Bringing this team together and taking it to a different level is our ultimate goal,&rdquo; Pant declared.
Together, Gill and Pant reflect a team not just retrospectively cherishing a monumental win, but looking forward to scaling new heights in their cricketing journey.

Shubman Gill's choice to wear a Nike vest during the Edgbaston Test against England may breach Adidas's exclusive sponsorship with BCCI, raising legal concerns.

India captain Shubman Gill sponsorship breach

Cricket captain Shubman Gill's use of a Nike vest during a Test match may conflict with Adidas's exclusive sponsorship deal with BCCI, prompting legal considerations.

India captain Shubman Gill's sponsorship breach

Indian cricket captain Shubman Gill wore a Nike vest during the second Test against England, potentially breaching Adidas's exclusive sponsorship with BCCI.

India's cricket captain, Shubman Gill, may face legal issues due to an incident during the second Test against England at Edgbaston. On Day 4, while declaring India's second innings, Gill was seen wearing a Nike vest. The moment was captured on camera as he signaled teammates Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who were at the crease, to head back to the pavilion. While the declaration itself was routine, the concern arises from Gill's choice of apparel.
Adidas is the official kit sponsor for the Indian cricket team, having secured a five-year agreement with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2023. As part of this deal, Adidas is to exclusively design and supply all team kits and merchandise. By wearing a garment from Nike&mdash;a direct competitor&mdash;Gill potentially breached the terms of this sponsorship contract.
The situation has sparked a reaction on social media, where many fans have speculated about possible legal ramifications. When announcing their sponsorship, the BCCI stated that Adidas would have exclusive rights for manufacturing kits across all formats for the Men's, Women's, and U-19 teams until March 2028. The BCCI might view Gill's oversight as a serious matter, given the exclusivity of their agreement with Adidas.

Shubman Gill made history as the first Indian captain to score a double century in a Test in England, exceeding both Sunil Gavaskar's longstanding record and the previous highest by an Asian player.

Shubman Gill Scripts History With Edgbaston Double Century

Shubman Gill etched his name in history as the first Indian and Asian captain to score a double century in an England Test, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar and setting new benchmarks for Indian batsmen.

Shubman Gill made history as the first Indian and Asian captain to score a double century in an England Test, breaking India's prior record and setting new benchmarks.

Shubman Gill became the first Indian and Asian captain to score a double hundred in a Test match in England when he reached the milestone on the second day of the second match at Edgbaston on Thursday.
The skipper also posted the highest individual score by an Indian batter on English soil, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar's 221 scored at the Oval back in 1979.
The previous best was 193 by Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan at Lord&rsquo;s in 2011.
Gill, who scored 147 on his debut as Test captain at Leeds, completed his maiden double hundred in the traditional format when he pulled Josh Tongue towards deep fine leg for a single.
He took 311 deliveries to reach his double hundred which earned him a place alongside MAK Pataudi, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni as captains with double hundreds for India.
Virat Kohli holds the record with seven double centuries as skipper for India.
Before Gill, the highest score by an Indian skipper in a SENA country was 192 by Mohammed Azharuddin against New Zealand in Auckland back in 1990.
Azharuddin's 179 in Manchester in 1990 was the highest score by an Indian skipper in England.
En route his double ton, Gill smashed 21 fours and two sixes and became the third Indian batter to score a double ton in Old Blighty after legendary pair of Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid.

Shubman Gill's exceptional double century against England has won him accolades from Yuvraj Singh, Tendulkar, and Ashwin, marking a significant leadership milestone in Indian cricket.

Yuvraj Singh praises Shubman Gill knock

Shubman Gill dazzles with a double century in the Test series against England. Praised by cricket greats like Yuvraj and Tendulkar, Gill's leadership heralds a new chapter for Indian cricket with promise and excellence.

Shubman Gill's stunning double century against England has earned praise from cricket legends like Yuvraj and Tendulkar, highlighting his promising leadership in Indian cricket.

Shubman Gill's clear intent has made him unstoppable in the ongoing Test series against England as he made scoring a double century look like a walk in the park, observed his one-time mentor Yuvraj Singh.
Hero of India's two global triumphs, 44-year-old Yuvraj had guided young Gill and India's T20 opener Abhishek Sharma during the Covid-19 lockdown when they even stayed at his Chandigarh bungalow.
"Take a bow @ShubmanGill! Making it look so easy on the big stage! Well played and well deserved double century an example of being unstoppable when the intent is clear," Yuvraj wrote on his official 'X' handle.
The recently retired Ravichandran Ashwin hailed Gill for a "fabulous start" to his captaincy stint.
"A double for Gill. Fabulous start to his leadership stint, this would do him a world of good moving forward. It's time for India to bat all day now," Ashwin wrote on the micro-blogging platform.
The legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who had showered wholesome praise on Wednesday when Gill completed his century, kept it short and sweet.
"Very pleased to see the intent and commitment shown by @ShubmanGill and @imjadeja today. Well played!," the legend wrote.
Gill's home state unit, Punjab put out a video of his first-ever TV interview when he was barely 15 and scored 351. He was involved in a record 587-run stand with teammate Nirmal Singh playing for Mohali against Amritsar in an inter-district game.
"Yes, Shubman Gill... you didn't just lead &mdash; you ruled. From the heart of Punjab to the soul of Indian cricket. You've shown the world what royalty on the pitch looks like. Not just a captain &mdash; a force, a fire, a future written in gold.
"Crowns aren't worn &mdash; they're earned... and today, yours shined the brightest. The prince isn't rising anymore &mdash; he has arrived. Punjab stands proud. India stands taller," Punjab Cricket Association posted on 'X'.

Jasprit Bumrah will rejoin India's lineup for the third Test against England at Lord's. Rested for workload management, his return is strategically planned to leverage the pitch conditions at Lord's starting July 10.

Shubman Gill Confirms Test Comeback of Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is set to play the third Test against England at Lord's following strategic rest. With conditions favoring his bowling, his return is planned to bolster India's performance in the game starting July 10.

Jasprit Bumrah will return for India's third Test against England at Lord's after being rested for workload management.

Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will return to the Indian playing eleven against England in the third Test at Lord's next week after sitting out of the second match here, captain Shubman Gill said on Wednesday.
Bumrah was rested from the second Test, which began here on Wednesday, as part of his workload management. He played in the first Test at Leeds which India lost by five wickets.
"Third Test being at Lord's, we think there'll be more in that pitch so we'll use him there," Gill said at the toss for the second game here.
"We were tempted to play Kuldeep (Yadav) but decided to add some depth to the batting." The third Test is scheduled to start on July 10.
The Indian team management had declared at the start of the series that Bumrah will only play in three Tests out of five.

Shubman Gill leads India in a Test series against England, focusing on improving his overseas batting record. Veteran advice and strategic coaching will shape India's performance.

Shubman Gill Faces Leadership Test Against England

Shubman Gill steps into his first series as India's Test captain against England, aiming to improve his batting record overseas. With seasoned players absent, this is a pivotal moment for Gill and the Indian cricket team as they face a challenging English series.

Shubman Gill, stepping in as India's Test captain, faces a leadership test against England. With key players absent, guidance focuses on his batting in challenging overseas conditions.

Former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik believes Shubman Gill is yet to grasp the full weight of responsibility that comes with leading the Indian Test side and has urged the young skipper to focus on his batting to gain respect within the dressing room.
India, entering a new era in Test cricket without stalwarts Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and R Ashwin, will begin a five-match series in England under the leadership of 25-year-old Gill, his first assignment as captain in the longest format.
"First bit of information I want to give Shubman Gill is to put your captaincy hat on only while fielding. Focus on your batting.
"It is imperative for Gill to score to have respect in that dressing room. In SENA countries, as an Indian batter, his average is not something he is going to be proud of," Karthik said on the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast.
Gill, who has played 32 Tests, has struggled to convert starts in overseas conditions, particularly in SENA countries.
In cricket, SENA refers to South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia.
India last won a Test series in England in 2007 and Gill faces a formidable challenge in attempting to repeat that feat as a first-time captain.
"I don't think he has realised the enormity of what it means to be a Test captain for India as of now. He is walking into a lion's den. Coming to England as a cricketing nation is not easy," said Karthik who interviewed Gill recently.
"Luckily for Shubman Gill, the England bowling attack is very vulnerable. That is the only positive I see. England's batting will put India under pressure, but the bowling is an area that is still work under progress for England and that could play into India's hands." Karthik believes Gautam Gambhir's tactical acumen as a coach is top-notch but feels his aggressive approach might need fine-tuning in a coaching role.
Karthik has shared both dressing rooms and leadership spaces with Gambhir -- first as an India teammate and later under his mentorship at Kolkata Knight Riders.
"Tactically, Gauti (Gambhir) is a very good coach. Man management is the area that I am sure he would be looking at. But one thing about him is that he is looking out for his players which is massive." However, Karthik noted that Gambhir's intensity, which served him well as a captain, might not always translate smoothly to coaching.
"What I feel at times is that the way he is aggressive as a captain, you can't be as a coach. You are managing different individuals. Once you let them out in the park, you trust them to do the job. That is the challenge," Karthik said.

Shubman Gill embarks on his journey as India's Test captain, hailed by Jos Buttler, as he balances leadership with his batting role, while young talents emerge in IPL.

Shubman Gill New Era for India in Test Cricket

As Shubman Gill steps into Virat Kohli's shoes as India's new Test captain, he's hailed for his leadership qualities by Jos Buttler. Gill's challenge lies in balancing captaincy with batting at No. 4, while the IPL showcases emerging talents like Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

Shubman Gill takes the helm as India's new Test captain amidst high expectations, balancing leadership with batting prowess, as young talents redefine cricket landscapes.

India's new Test captain Shubman Gill is a mix of his predecessors Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli but he will be "very much his own man" in the middle when he leads the national side in the eagerly-awaited five-Test series against England starting on Friday, feels Jos Buttler.
Buttler, the former England limited-overs captain who played under Gill in this year's IPL, said the 25-year-old will need to find a balance between his captaincy role and his own batting.
"He's a really impressive player and an impressive young man," Buttler said on his podcast 'For The Love of Cricket' alongside former England pacer Stuart Broad.
"He's pretty calm and measured when he speaks, but (it's) interesting, I feel like on the field he's got a bit of fight about him; a bit of intensity, quite passionate. I think he'll be a mix of Kohli and Rohit.
"Kohli (was) that sort of real aggressive (character), really transformed the Indian team, in your face, up for the contest. Rohit was a bit on the other side, a bit more laid back, very cool, calm, collected customer, but with that sort of fight," he added.
Buttler expects Gill to "be a bit in the middle".
"He's obviously learned from those two guys&hellip; but he'll be very much his own man." Buttler said the job of captaining India in Test cricket is like being a "third or fourth-most influential people" in the country "He talked about compartmentalising batting and captaining; so when he's batting he just wants to be a batter, and then he will try and work on his captaincy and try and separate the two roles," he said.
"I don't think we can quite understand the level of interest and the stardom that these guys have. You see it around the IPL, you're aware of it, but actually living that yourself... I think they say the Indian Test captain is like the third or fourth-most influential person in India, behind the Prime Minister, so you really are put up on that pedestal.
"(There are a) one-and-half billion people, all cricket-mad, so it's going to be a huge job for him. Kohli is the king, Shubman is the prince: that's the narrative that they spin out there, and I feel that he's the coming man...Stepping into that No. 4, it's big shoes, isn't it?" "IPL teams as good as international teams" =========================== Buttler said the level of competitiveness in IPL, given its unique window, makes some of the teams in the competition as good as international teams.
"I would say some teams would compete well, they are just as good as international teams. I think (a) Mumbai Indians XI had nine or 10 players who had played international cricket and they are just not any odd internationals either.
"Obviously, the window the IPL has, there is no competition from international cricket, it has got its own designated window. All the best players in the world are available, all the local Indian talent where the depth is just growing and growing and growing," he said.
"Suryavanshi's ton was inspiring and deflating" ============================== Buttler said 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 38-ball 101 for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans, which was the second-fastest IPL ton and fastest for any Indian in T20 cricket, was both "inspiring and deflating".
"This guy is (about) 20 years younger than me, and he is just smashing us all around the park. Absolutely (sent) shockwaves throughout the cricket world," he said.
"...the first ball, he gave himself a bit of room and smacked it over wide long on for a six... that fearlessness. I love these guys out there; there are so many brilliant players. They almost want to make a statement as in 'look at me'." Buttler also recalled Suryavanshi&rsquo;s knock of 57 against Chennai Super Kings and said, "I'm like 'this guy is the best player I have ever seen," he said.

Sunil Gavaskar discusses Shubman Gill's new role as India's Test captain while Yograj Singh emphasizes Yuvraj Singh's mentorship.

Shubman Gill- New Test Captain of India

Sunil Gavaskar shares insights on Shubman Gill's appointment as Test captain, focusing on leadership challenges. Yograj Singh highlights Yuvraj's mentorship in Gill's rise.

Shubman Gill becomes India&rsquo;s Test captain, with Gavaskar discussing leadership challenges and Yuvraj praised for mentoring.

Sunil Gavaskar, the legendary Indian cricket batter, has shared his insights on the recent appointment of Shubman Gill as the new Test captain for India's cricket team. Gill is set to lead the national side in the upcoming five-match Test series against England, with Rishabh Pant serving as his deputy. The decision to appoint Gill followed Rohit Sharma's retirement, with Gill being chosen over notable players like Jasprit Bumrah and KL Rahul.
Gavaskar emphasized the challenges that come with the captaincy, noting that gaining the respect of teammates and handling the associated pressure will be crucial for Gill. "Being elected India's captain brings immense pressure. There's a marked difference between being a team member and the captain," Gavaskar remarked, as reported by Sports Tak. He further elaborated, "As a team member, interactions are generally limited to those around you, but as captain, earning the respect of all players is vital. A captain's behavior often outweighs his performance."
As Gill steps into his new role ahead of the much-anticipated series against England, former cricketer Yograj Singh praised the foundational support behind the young leader's ascent. Specifically, Yograj credited Gill's father and Indian cricket legend Yuvraj Singh for their pivotal roles in shaping Gill's career.
Speaking to ANI, Yograj Singh highlighted the significance of mentorship and family backing in Gill's development. "Shubman Gill's success is largely due to the support of his father and Yuvraj Singh," he mentioned. "Yuvraj Singh's guidance has been, and will continue to be, instrumental in Gill's journey as captain."
Yograj, a former international player himself and Yuvraj's father, emphasized the cricketing acumen that Yuvraj has imparted to Gill. "Having a cricketing genius like Yuvraj Singh mentor Gill is invaluable," he stated, underscoring Yuvraj's influence on Gill's growth as both a player and leader.

Gujarat Titans secure a decisive 8-wicket win over RCB, with Shubman Gill's cryptic post drawing fan attention. Jos Buttler's 73* steers GT to victory, overshadowing RCB’s tactics post their recent victories.

Gujarat Titans Win, Gill's Cryptic Message

In a striking match, Gujarat Titans outclass RCB by eight wickets as Shubman Gill's mysterious post garners fan interest. Jos Buttler's 73* ensures GT's chase dominance, raising tactical questions for RCB post their earlier successes.

Gujarat Titans triumph over RCB, Shubman Gill's cryptic post intrigues fans

Gujarat Titans delivered a commanding 8-wicket victory over RCB. Shubman Gill's mysterious post post-match intrigues fans, possibly hinting at Virat Kohli&rsquo;s dismissal celebrations.

Gujarat Titans (GT) overpowered Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) with an eight-wicket triumph at their home ground. Following the match, GT captain Shubman Gill captivated fans with a mysterious seven-word post on X (formerly Twitter): &ldquo;Eyes on the game, not the noise.&rdquo;
While Gill remained tight-lipped about the post&rsquo;s implication, speculation mounted among fans that the reference to 'noise' alluded to Virat Kohli&rsquo;s expressive celebrations after his dismissal.
In the aftermath of the win, Captain Gill commended his team&rsquo;s bowling performance, particularly during the critical first seven to eight overs, which paved the way for early breakthroughs.
Reflecting on the victory, Gill stated, "Restricting them to 170 was a commendable effort on this ground. The wicket offered something for the fast bowlers early on, so our plan was to capitalize by picking those crucial early wickets."
He also urged his team to remain resilient after missed fielding opportunities, emphasizing the importance of adapting to the conditions at hand.
The match began with GT winning the toss and electing to bowl. RCB faced early setbacks due to former team member Mohammed Siraj&rsquo;s remarkable spell of 3/19. Despite being reduced to 42/4, Liam Livingstone (54) and Jitesh Sharma (33) forged a vital 52-run partnership.
Additionally, a resilient stand between Livingstone and Tim David (32) pushed RCB to a respectable 169/8 in their allotted overs. Sai Kishore (2/22) and Prasidh Krishna (1/26) also shone with the ball, strengthening GT's formidable start.
During GT&rsquo;s chase, an early dismissal of captain Shubman Gill for 14 runs did little to deter the team&rsquo;s momentum. Jos Buttler's explosive 73*, supported by Sai Sudharsan&rsquo;s poised 49 and Sherfane Rutherford&rsquo;s brisk 30*, guided GT to a comfortable victory with 13 balls to spare.
After back-to-back statement victories against champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), RCB faltered at the onset of their home fixtures, leaving questions about their tactics and strategy as GT marched on with confidence and control.

Shubman Gill's century in the third ODI boosts India's Champions Trophy hopes, placing him among elite players across formats. Moving to second in ICC ODI rankings, he trails Babar Azam closely.

Shubman Gill’s Impactful ODI Century

Shubman Gill sets record with 7th ODI century

Shubman Gill's century in the third ODI boosts India's Champions Trophy hopes, placing him among elite players across formats. Moving to second in ICC ODI rankings, he trails Babar Azam closely.

Shubman Gill showcased his exceptional form in the third ODI against England, securing a century to bolster India's chances ahead of the 2025 Champions Trophy. The 25-year-old's innings of 112 comes on the heels of scores of 87 and 60, crucial for an Indian team grappling with the inconsistency of senior players and the absence of star pacer Jasprit Bumrah due to injury.
Gill's ability to balance caution with aggression was evident as he built pivotal partnerships with Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, eventually reaching his century in just 95 balls.
This milestone makes Gill the first Indian to notch a century in his 50th ODI and the fastest to achieve seven ODI centuries in the same number of innings.
Furthermore, he joins an elite club of players to have scored centuries in all three formats at a single venue, alongside names like Faf du Plessis and David Warner. Gill achieved this feat at Motera, Ahmedabad.
With the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 looming, India, led by Rohit Sharma, is eyeing the top spot in the ICC ODI player rankings. Babar Azam remains at No. 1, but Gill's performance has propelled him to second place, just five points behind. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is closing in, sitting third, only 13 points off the lead after his century in Cuttack.
The ODI rankings see other batters making a comeback as well, with Fakhar Zaman at 13th and familiar faces such as Kane Williamson, Jos Buttler, Devon Conway, and Joe Root reclaiming their places. The competition among bowlers is equally intense, with Rashid Khan, Maheesh Theekshana, Bernard Scholtz, Shaheen Afridi, and Kuldeep Yadav closely contending within the top five.
Indian all-rounders are also on the rise, with Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami climbing to 11th and 13th, respectively, thanks to their performances against England. Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabi retains a slim lead at the top of the all-rounder rankings, while New Zealand's Mitchell Santner is among week's notable risers, moving up to seventh.
This period of intense competition and movement in rankings is underscored by recent test series outcomes, including Australia&rsquo;s victory over Sri Lanka and Ireland&rsquo;s win against Zimbabwe.

Credit to Shubman for his knock: Rohit Sharma lauds GT opener after 62-run loss

Gill smashed 129 off 60 balls before Mohit Sharma (5/10) scalped a fifer as defending champions Gujarat Titans beat MI by 62 runs in Qualifier 2

Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma felt Shubman Gill made the difference in their loss to Gujarat Titans in IPL Qualifier 2 and hoped the opener continues his purple patch in India colours. Gill smashed 129 off 60 balls before Mohit Sharma (5/10) scalped a fifer as defending champions Gujarat Titans beat MI by 62 runs to storm into their second consecutive IPL final where they will meet Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. "Shubman batted well, wicket was good. They got 20-25 extra. We were positive after the first-half. We have to credit Shubman. I hope he continues that form," he said.
Rohit said Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green raised some hopes with their partnership, but he felt MI lost the game in the powerplay while chasing.
"Greeny and Surya batted well but we lost our way. We wanted to give it a good crack, be positive. We couldn't get going in the powerplay. We wanted one batter, like Gujarat did, and take the game deep where anything can happen on a good pitch and a ground with a small boundary. But credit to GT, who played well," he said.
The MI captain said Ishan Kishan's concussion didn't help the team either in its tall chase.
"Kishan's concussion was unexpected. It was a last-minute change. We had to adapt, to different conditions and situations. Not looking at that though," he said.
He preferred to take positives from the campaign despite failing to qualify for the final.
"Playing this game, qualifying and coming this far is big, the batting has been a big positive we can take into the next season. All the bowling teams have been challenged.
"We had a great performance last game. Tim's (David) been given a role this season," he said.
Winning captain Hardik Pandya said the clarity of thought in Gill's batting is helping him pile on the runs.
"I think the clarity and confidence he is carrying is amazing. Today's innings was one of the finest, he never looked rushed. It felt like someone was throwing balls and he was hitting. He will be a superstar in international and franchise cricket," said Hardik.

Gill extended his purple patch with a 60-ball 129 as Titans beat Mumbai Indians by 62 runs to enter their second straight IPL final.

Probably my best IPL innings: Shubman Gill

Here's what Gujarat Titans opener Shubman Gill said after smashing his 3rd century of the ongoing IPL season 

Gill extended his purple patch with a 60-ball 129 as Titans beat Mumbai Indians by 62 runs to enter their second straight IPL final.

Gujarat Titans opener Shubman Gill on Friday rated his third century of the season as "probably" the best of his IPL career.
Gill extended his purple patch with a 60-ball 129 as Titans beat Mumbai Indians by 62 runs to enter their second straight IPL final.
"I think this was probably my best innings so far in the IPL," said Gill at the post match presentation.
The stylish opener feels the technical changes he has made in his batting has paid rich dividends.
"From the last West Indies tour, I think I have shifted a gear, I got injured before the last IPL but I have been working on my game. I have worked on a few areas and made technical changes ahead of the NZ series after the T20 World Cup," he said. Asked how he deals with the expectations, Gill said: "Expectations are something that follow you outside the ropes, but once you step on the field it is all about trying how to contribute for the team." Gill said starting well is the key for him to score big.
"For me, it is playing ball to ball, over to over. The over where I hit three sixes gave me the momentum to go big. That's when I realised it could be my day. "It was a good wicket to bat on as well. Not a conscious decision, you keep inventing as a batter but for me the belief is more important. I am coming off a good international season as well. Had a good season last time as well. When I start well, I feel confident I can score well," he added.

Gill revealed that his father would have wanted him to carry on with the game.
