Shubman Gill continued his dominance in Ahmedabad, smashing a superb century against England in the third ODI on Wednesday, February 12. Playing at the Narendra Modi Stadium in front of a packed crowd, the young Indian opener reached his hundred in just 95 balls, marking his seventh century in ODIs.

Shubman Gill Leads India’s Charge After Early Blow

After India lost Rohit Sharma for just one run, Gill took charge alongside Virat Kohli. The duo stabilized the innings against England’s pace attack, with Gill playing the aggressor. He punished Gus Atkinson with two classy boundaries in the 10th over, setting the tone for his innings.

Gill reached his half-century in 51 balls, bringing up his fifty with a stylish boundary off Adil Rashid. In doing so, he became the seventh Indian batter to score 50+ runs in every match of a three-game bilateral ODI series, joining legends like MS Dhoni, Kris Srikkanth, and Mohammed Azharuddin.

As Kohli fell, Gill accelerated the scoring, keeping the momentum in India’s favor. He reached his century in the 32nd over with a boundary, finishing with 14 fours and 2 sixes.

Fastest to 2500 ODI Runs

During his innings, Gill achieved another milestone—becoming the fastest batter in ODI history to reach 2500 runs, further cementing his reputation as one of India’s most promising batters.

Gill’s Ahmedabad Love Affair Continues

This century was Gill’s first in ODIs at the Narendra Modi Stadium, making him the first Indian batter with centuries in all formats at the venue. He also has an impressive IPL record at the ground, scoring 953 runs in just 18 matches, including three centuries.
