At only 26 years old, Shubman Gill has already demonstrated impressive consistency in One Day Internationals.

The forthcoming ODI series against Australia would be special for Shubman Gill because it will be his first time leading India as captain. The BCCI just named a 15-member team, with Gill as the new ODI captain. This choice was made with the 2027 World Cup in mind.

Gill has already demonstrated amazing consistency in the format at the young age of 26. He is known for his calm demeanor and beautiful stroke play. Now he is going into the series hoping to keep up his golden run, and his numbers show that he can.

Shubman Gill’s Amazing ODI Stats

Shubman Gill has played in 55 ODIs for India since his first game against New Zealand in January 2019. He has scored 2775 runs in that period, with eight centuries and 15 fifties, for an amazing average of 59.04 and a strike rate of 99.56. He has 208 points, which includes 313 fours and 59 sixes.

In terms of averages, ahead of Kohli and Rohit

Shubman Gill’s ODI average is higher than those of both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who are both modern-day greats. Kohli has 14,181 runs in 302 ODIs, which is an average of 57.9 runs per match. Rohit has 11,168 runs in 273 matches, which is an average of 48.8 runs per match.

Gill has played less matches, but he is already one of India’s most reliable ODI players since he is so consistent. He has scored 280 runs in eight matches against Australia, including a century and a half-century.

A New Era in Leadership

Gill will now be in control of the ODI team for the first time after doing a great job as captain in the previous Test series against England. It will be hard to lead India in Australia since the weather is bad and the competition is formidable. But Shubman Gill will want to make his first game as captain memorable, both as a leader and as a hitter.
