Shubman Gill Makes History: Fastest to 2500 ODI Runs

Shubman Gill is one of the most stylish batters in cricket, and he once again showed his class in the third ODI between India and England in Ahmedabad. After scoring fifties in the first two matches, he played another strong innings. During his knock, he achieved a special record by becoming the fastest player in ODI history to reach 2,500 runs. The Ahmedabad crowd got to witness his amazing batting skills once again.

Shubman Gill & His ODI Brilliance

Shubman Gill continues to shine in ODI cricket, setting new records with his brilliant performances. Among Indian players, Shreyas Iyer previously held the record for being the fastest to reach 2,500 ODI runs, achieving the milestone in 59 innings. However, Gill shattered that record, reaching the landmark in just 50 innings—an incredible nine innings faster than Iyer.

In overall ODI history, the previous record belonged to South African legend Hashim Amla, who took 53 innings to reach 2,500 runs. Amla, known for his consistency, went on to score a massive 8,113 ODI runs in his career. But now, Gill has surpassed him, setting a new world record by getting there in only 50 innings.

Gill’s form couldn’t have come at a better time, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy approaching. In the ongoing ODI series against England, he has been outstanding, scoring back-to-back fifties. His 87 runs in the first match and 60 in the second played a crucial role in India’s dominant wins. With such strong performances, Gill’s form is a massive boost for India as they gear up for the major tournament.
