In a remarkable achievement, swashbuckling opener Shubman Gill has surpassed skipper Rohit Sharma to record the most sixes for India across formats in 2023. Gill, who hammered a blistering fifty in the first ODI, took on the Australian pacers right from the start, surpassing Sharma to attain the aforementioned feat in this process.

  • Shubman Gill: 45*
  • Rohit Sharma: 43
  • Suryakumar Yadav: 30
  • Axar Patel: 24
  • Hardik Pandya: 19

Shubman Gill has had a stellar year so far, amassing 1692 runs at an incredible average of 51.27 and a blistering strike rate of 101.31. He has been particularly impressive in the ODI format, establishing himself as a vital cog in the 50-over setup.

Regarding the game, India, after being put into bat, have got a flying start, thanks to a breathtaking second-wicket stand between Gill and Shreyas Iyer. After losing Ruturaj Gaikwad early, the Men in Blue made a remarkable comeback, as Gill and Iyer smashed the Aussies all around the park.
