Shubman Gill continued his remarkable run at the Narendra Modi Stadium, delighting the Ahmedabad crowd with a magnificent century against England in the third ODI on February 12. The 25-year-old reached his seventh ODI hundred in just 95 balls, showcasing his elegant stroke play and impeccable timing. His innings provided the perfect foundation for India after an early setback.
Gill had to step up quickly after skipper Rohit Sharma fell for just one run, leaving India in a tricky position. However, rather than letting the pressure get to him, the young opener took charge, countering England’s pacers with a blend of caution and controlled aggression. His ability to shift gears seamlessly allowed India to recover swiftly, and his dominance over the bowlers was evident throughout.

His century wasn’t just a personal milestone—it was a statement of intent. In the process, Gill also achieved a historic feat, becoming the fastest batter to reach 2500 runs in ODI cricket.
Fans on social media erupted with praise, hailing him as the future of Indian cricket. His innings was further bolstered by a crucial 116-run partnership with Virat Kohli, who himself played a vital role, reaching a well-deserved half-century before falling to Adil Rashid.
