Notably, the 25-year-old has been in a sensational run of form with the bat in the ongoing three-match ODI series against the Three Lions. He also scored two crucial half-centuries in the first and second ODI, respectively.

In his current century-innings, Gill also became the fastest batter in the world to reach the milestone of 2500 runs. The young batter reached this milestone in just the 50th ODI appearance of his career.

The video of the eye-pleasing moment of Shubman Gill’s century is also making rounds on social media as soon it has been shared by BCCI on their official X handle (formerly Twitter).

Besides being the fastest to reach 2500 ODI runs, Gill also completed 5000 runs in his international career across all formats.

Speaking of the current action of the ongoing third ODI between India and England, the visiting skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and asked the men in blue to bat first. Batting first, the hosts had scored 234 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 35.3 overs, with Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel there in the middle at the individual score of 58 and 2 runs, respectively.

Shubman Gill was dismissed by star England spinner Adil Rashid; he scored 112 runs off 102 balls, with 14 fours and three sixes. Besides Gill’s century for India, the former skipper and the batting stalwart Virat Kohli also scored a half-century, hitting 52 runs off 55 balls, with seven fours and a six.

Earlier in the innings, second ODI’s centurion and India skipper Rohit Sharma was dismissed cheaply at the score of just 1 run off 2 balls. Adil Rashid has scalped 2 wickets for England, alongside a wicket bagged by star pacer Mark Wood.
