Shubman Gill, the Indian opener, is on the brink of surpassing a massive ODI record held by Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan. It should be mentioned that Kohli and experienced opener Dhawan are the joint-fastest batsmen to reach 1000 runs for Team India in the 50-over format.
Kohli and Dhawan reached the milestone in 24 innings. Right-handed hitter Gill, on the other hand, has scored 894 runs from 18 innings in ODI cricket and is projected to beat the mark held by Dhawan and Kohli in the three-match New Zealand series, which begins on Wednesday (January 18).
Shubman Gill, 23, has played for Team India in 18 ODIs, 3 T20Is, and 13 Test matches. In his 18 ODIs, he has scored 2 centuries and 5 half-centuries. Gill made his ODI debut for India in 2019 against New Zealand.
