Shubman Gill did it again. The Indian opener lit up the third ODI against England in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 12, with a breathtaking century. His knock didn’t just propel India to a strong total—it carved his name into the record books.
Gill brought up his seventh ODI hundred in just 95 balls, showing his class and consistency. By the time he walked back, he had hammered 112 off 102 balls at a strike rate of 109.8. His innings featured 14 boundaries and three towering sixes. Pure domination.
This ton was long overdue. In the first ODI in Nagpur, he fell for 87. In Cuttack, he managed a solid 60. Two close calls. But in Ahmedabad? He made it count.
Now, let’s dive into the incredible records he shattered with this masterclass.
4 Records Shubman Gill Broke in the 3rd ODI vs England
1. Fastest Player to Reach 2500 Runs in ODIs
Shubman Gill is now the fastest cricketer to score 2500 ODI runs. He reached the milestone in just 50 innings, overtaking South Africa’s Hashim Amla, who took 51.
Some legendary names he left behind:
- Imam-ul-Haq (52 innings)
- Vivian Richards (56 innings)
- Jonathan Trott (56 innings)
At 2587 runs after 50 innings, he now holds the record for the most runs at this stage of an ODI career. Unreal.

2. First Indian to Score a Century in His 50th ODI
No Indian batter had ever scored a century in their 50th ODI. Until now. Gill’s 112-run knock made sure his milestone match became one for the history books.
3. Fastest Indian to Seven ODI Hundreds
The record books have a new entry. Gill became the quickest Indian to score seven ODI centuries, getting there in just 50 innings.
For context:
- Shikhar Dhawan held the previous record, needing 54 innings.
This stat alone proves Gill’s ability to turn good starts into match-winning knocks.
4. First Indian to Score a Century in All Formats at a Single Venue
A record that sets him apart. Shubman Gill is now the first Indian batter to score a century in all three international formats—Tests, ODIs, and T20Is—at the same venue.
His tally at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad:
- Test century? Check.
- T20I century? Done.
- ODI century? Sealed the deal.
Few players in world cricket have managed this rare feat. Gill just joined an elite club.
Gill’s Growing ODI Dominance
Numbers aside, Shubman Gill is a nightmare for bowlers. He can play both the anchor and aggressor. He reads the game. He accelerates when needed. And most importantly? He delivers when it matters.
With years of cricket ahead, this is just the beginning. More centuries? Guaranteed. More records? Just a matter of time.
If he keeps up this form, we could be witnessing the making of one of India’s greatest-ever ODI batters.
What’s next for Gill? More history in the making.
