Chennai: Shubman Gill has often been accused of inconsistency. Those who call him the captain of the future also do not miss to say that Gill’s bat keeps going on and off. But the statistics tell a different story. Gill is a second innings player. He proved this once again in the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh.
50+ scores in the second innings of fifth consecutive Test
Shubman Gill, who was out without opening his account in the first innings of the match, scored a brilliant half-century in the second innings and is now moving fast towards his century. This is the fifth consecutive 50+ score from his bat in the second innings of the Test match. In this innings, Gill showed a tremendous combination of defense and attack. He gave full respect to the good balls and hit hard on the bad balls.
Most international runs after 2023
After this half-century, Shubman Gill also made a big record in his name. He is at the top of the list of batsmen who have scored the most international runs in world cricket since 2023. Gill scored 3008 runs in 76 innings. During this, he scored nine centuries and 14 half-centuries. Behind him are Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis (2851), Rohit Sharma (India), Travis Head (Australia), Pathum Nissanka (Sri Lanka), Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand).
‘Century’ of sixesShubman Gill not only completed his half-century by hitting two sixes on two balls of the 30th over but also scored a special century of sixes in international cricket. Team India’s ‘Prince’ has hit 52 sixes in ODIs and 22 sixes in T20s. Now Gill has hit 26* Test centuries, the count of which is still on.
