Shubman Gill Makes History as Fastest Batsman to Reach 2000 ODI Runs

Karan Brar — Sun, 22 Oct 2023 17:11:22 +0000

Shubman Gill, with an awe-inspiring blend of talent and consistency, etched his name in the annals of cricket history on October 22, during a momentous clash in the 2023 World Cup against New Zealand’s Tom Latham. His remarkable achievement was surpassing the 2000-run mark in One Day Internationals (ODIs) faster than anyone before.

Before Gill’s incredible feat, the record was held by Hashim Amla, who had set the benchmark on January 21, 2011, taking 40 innings to reach 2000 ODI runs during a match against India at St George’s Park in Port Elizabeth. Gill, however, raced past this milestone in just 38 ODI innings, showcasing his remarkable batting skills and unwavering consistency on the global stage.

Outshining Legends: Gill’s Triumph Over Amla and Dhawan

Gill’s achievement not only rewrote Amla’s record but also outshone his fellow Indian cricketer, Shikhar Dhawan. Dhawan had claimed the title of the fastest Indian to reach 2000 ODI runs on November 9, 2014, doing so in his 48th innings during a match against Sri Lanka at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

For Shubman Gill, the 2000-run mark was tantalizingly close, with just 14 runs separating him from this historic achievement. With remarkable ease, he crossed this milestone, leaving spectators in awe of his incredible talent and composure on the cricket field.

Gill’s exceptional performance not only cements his burgeoning career but also fills Indian cricket fans with immense pride. As he continues to shine in the world of cricket, many eagerly anticipate his future achievements and contributions to the sport.
