The cricket world eagerly awaits the upcoming second ODI of the ongoing ODI series between India and England. As the match unfolds at the Barabati Stadium, all eyes are on India’s vice-captain, Shubman Gill, who is on the verge of achieving yet another historic milestone in his career.

Gill To Name Another Landmark In His Career

Just before the Champions Trophy, Team India is facing England in a three-match ODI series. Vice-captain Shubman Gill kicked off the series in style, delighting the Nagpur crowd with a brilliant 87-run knock that powered India to victory. As the next match is set to go on stage, Gill is aiming to name another historic milestone of his career.

Needing just 85 runs, he is poised to become the first batter ever to reach 2,500 ODI runs in fewer than 50 innings. With 2,415 runs in 48 matches at an impressive average of 58.90, Gill is just a few steps away from adding another remarkable milestone to his name.

After scoring 2,500 runs in 53 innings, South African legend Hashim Amla is currently holding this prestigious record. But with the second ODI approaching, Shubman Gill has a golden opportunity to surpass the cricket great and set a new benchmark.

Gill’s Form Becomes India’s Strength Before Champions Trophy

Team India is facing England in the ongoing three-match ODI series as their final preparation before the Champions Trophy. Ahead of the big stage, they kicked off the series with a dominant win in the first ODI, where Shubman Gill’s pivotal knock proved to be a game-changer.

Coming to bat at no 3 in Virat Kohli’s absence, Gill justified the position. After having a calm start, the youngster dominated the English bowlers and played an impressive innings of 87 runs in 96 balls with 14 boundaries. With the Champions Trophy on the horizon, his red-hot form is a major boost for India’s top order. Now, Cuttack fans eagerly await another Shubman Gill spectacle on the field.
