Shubman Gill Recreates Virat Kohli's 2016 Magic: 1,800+ Runs in Just 7 Months In 3 Different Formats
photoDetails english 2940655 Updated:Aug 03, 2025, 08:34 AM IST Baton Passes 1 / 8 Here's a look at two of Indian cricket's most spectacular years. In 2016, Virat Kohli set an impossible standard for batting across all formats. Now, a decade later, Shubman Gill is having a year that seems to be echoing that very same benchmark, showcasing a similar level of multi-format dominance and consistency. ODI Greatness 2 / 8 In 2016, Virat Kohli was a dominant force in ODIs, amassing a staggering 739 runs in just 10 innings. A decade later, Shubman Gill delivered a similar performance on a smaller stage, scoring a magnificent 447 runs in the Champions Trophy. Both performances showcased a relentless ability to score runs under pressure. IPL Dominance 3 / 8 The T20 format saw both players at the peak of their powers in their respective years. In 2016, Virat Kohli set the IPL alight with an incredible 641 runs, including four centuries. In 2025, Shubman Gill followed suit, scoring a brilliant 650 runs to lead his team from the front, proving his mettle in the high-pressure league. Test Match Prowess 4 / 8 The long format of the game also saw a similar level of excellence. Virat Kohli had a magnificent 2016, scoring a massive 1215 runs over 18 innings. Shubman Gill's Test performance in 2025 was equally brilliant in a single series, as he scored a phenomenal 754 runs against England, showcasing his prowess in red-ball cricket. The Golden Standard of 2016 5 / 8 Virat Kohli's 2016 stands as a golden standard in cricket, a year where he shattered records and redefined consistency. His collective performances across ODIs, T20Is, and Tests remain a benchmark for batting excellence. It was a period that saw him elevate his game to a level few have ever reached. New Era Begins 6 / 8 While Kohli's 2016 stands alone, Shubman Gill's 2025 is a powerful echo of that same multi-format brilliance. His ability to perform with exceptional skill across different formats and pressure situations is a testament to his class. His monumental Test series against England is a perfect example of his ability to excel on the biggest stage. A Legacy of All-Format Excellence 7 / 8 Both players have shown a remarkable ability to adapt and dominate across all three formats of the game. Their incredible years are defined not just by the sheer volume of runs, but by their unflinching consistency and hunger for big scores. They are a true embodiment of the modern, all-format batsman. Still 5 Months Left 8 / 8 While Virat amassed 2,595 runs in international cricket in 2016 and 973 runs in IPL, Shubman has big shoes to fill but still has 5 months left in the year to score more runs.

Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Akash Deep smashed his way to a maiden half-century, frustrating a lacklustre England and putting India in a strong position at lunch on Day 3 of the final Test at The Oval on Saturday. Resuming the day at 75 for two, India did exceedingly well to reach 189 for three at the break, with Yashasvi Jaiswal (85 not out off 106 balls) and Akash Deep (66 off 94 balls) sharing a 107-run stand off 150 balls. Yashasvi Jaiswal press conference: Message from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli help, support from Gambhir The Indian pacer, who was on four overnight, was eventually dismissed by Jamie Overton towards the end of the session with a well-directed short ball aimed at his rib cage, leaving him in a tangle. Gus Atkinson took an easy catch at point. Akash Deep, who had just one first-class fifty to his name prior to this game, made his intentions clear in the first over of the day, bowled by left-arm spinner Jacob Bethell. The Indian cleared his front leg and dispatched Bethell over mid-wicket for a boundary. Poll What aspect of Akash Deep's batting impressed you the most? Fearless approach Natural flair Solid technique He didn't hold back against the fast bowlers either, especially Atkinson. He brought up his fifty with another slog off Atkinson. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: Tight Skin After 50 Comes Down To Doing This 1 Thing Miami MD Undo He was understandably fired up after his stellar effort, which was duly applauded by the Indian dressing room. "He's got this raw batting talent. In Australia, he helped India avoid the follow-on in Brisbane. He batted beautifully. He has a solid defence and can hit the ball cleanly — we've seen that in the IPL," Ashwin said. "He's an off-side player. He doesn't have many shots on the leg side, but he has good technique to negotiate the short ball. It took England some time to realise that Akash doesn't like deliveries angled into him."
