Shubman Gill becomes fastest Indian to reach 1000 ODI runs, 2nd fastest in the World

Gill,
who
has
found
his
touch
this
year
with
the
willow,
continued
his
merry
way
against
the
Kiwi
attack
and
scored
another
hundred,
two
in
a
row
now.

The
Indian
batter
also
scored
a
hundred
in
the
last
match
against
Sri
Lanka
in
Trivandrum.

Shubman
Gill
becomes
Fastest
Indian
to
1000
ODI
Runs:

With
the
century,
Shubman
Gill
has
crossed
1000
runs
in
ODI
cricket.
Despite
his
debut
in
2019,
he
didn’t
get
regular
opportunities
till
last
year,
and
the
player
has
capitalized
big
time
on
his
recent
opportunities.

Gill
scored
his
3rd
ODI
hundred
on
Wednesday
(January
18)
and
now
has
become
the
fastest
Indian
player
to
reach
1000
ODI
runs,
surpassing
Virat
Kohli,
who
reached
the
milestone
in
his
24th
innings.
Gill
has
taken
only
19
innings
to
reach
the
mark
and
has
been
in

tremendous
form
since
the
start
of
last
year.

Gill
continues
2023
resurgence:

The
young
batter
has
been
in
immense
touch
in
2023.
He
has
already
scored
2
centuries,
along
with
a
fifty
in
four
innings
so
far.
The
batter
played
an
elegant
knock
last
match
against
Sri
Lanka,
and
emulated
the
same
against
the
Blackcaps
as
well.

Gill
becomes
2nd
Fastest
player
to
reach
1000
ODI
Runs:

Shubman
Gill
now
also
becomes
the
joint
2nd
fastest
batter
in
the
world
to
reach
the
four-figure
mark
in
ODIs.
He
has
taken
19
innings
to
reach
the
mark,
same
as
Pakistan’s
Imam-ul-Haq
took
when
he
reached
the
milestone
against
South
Africa
in
2019.
Another
Pakistani
batter
Fakhar
Zaman
is
the
fastest
player
ever
to
score
1000
ODI
runs,
as
he
made
it
within
18
innings.

Among
Indians,
Virat
Kohli
and
Shikhar
Dhawan
reached
the
milestone
in
24
innings
as
mentioned
above,
while
Navjot
Singh
Sidhu
and
Shreyas
Iyer
reached
1000
runs
in
their
25th
innings.
