However, this series saw him cement his place at number four, a position previously held by legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. In the Test series, Gill amassed a leading 754 runs at an average of 75.40, with four centuries, including a personal best of 269. He topped the run charts for the series, which concluded in a thrilling 2-2 draw, showcasing some outstanding Test cricket. This year, Gill has accumulated 1,234 runs in 14 matches and 20 innings, averaging 64.94, with six centuries—the most by any batter this year—and two fifties across all formats. He is the second-highest run-scorer of the year, behind England's Ben Duckett, who has 1,290 runs in 23 matches and 27 innings at an average of 47.77, with three centuries and eight fifties, and a best score of 165. Among Indians, his closest competitors are KL Rahul (741 runs in 14 matches and 19 innings at an average of 46.31, with two centuries and two fifties) and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja (605 runs in 13 matches and 17 innings at an average of 67.22, with a century and five fifties). In six Tests and 12 innings this year, Gill has scored 787 runs at an average of 65.58, with a strike rate of 64.03, including four centuries and a top score of 269. He has also been prolific in ODIs, scoring 447 runs in eight matches and innings at an average of 63.85, with two centuries and two fifties, and a best score of 112. He has not yet played a T20I this year. Notably, in the ICC Champions Trophy-winning campaign, he scored 188 runs at an average of 47.00, with a century and a best score of 101* in five innings. Since 2023, after establishing himself as a regular in the Indian team, Gill has become the world's leading run-scorer across all formats. He has accumulated 4,577 runs in 85 matches and 105 innings, averaging 48.17, with 16 centuries and 17 fifties, and a best score of 269. He also holds the record for the most international centuries since 2023. Following him are Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis (4,341 runs in 107 matches at an average of 39.46, with seven centuries and 27 fifties in 119 innings), England's Joe Root (3,833 runs in 53 matches and 77 innings at an average of 54.75, with 13 centuries and 17 fifties), and his compatriots Harry Brook (3,788 runs in 82 matches and 96 innings at an average of 44.56, with eight centuries and 21 fifties) and Ben Duckett (3,743 runs in 65 Tests at an average of 42.53, with eight centuries and 20 fifties in 91 innings). view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: News cricket Shubman Gill Shatters Records, Is India's Top Run-Scorer In...
