Shubman Gill (born 8 September 1999) is an Indian international cricketer who represents the Indian cricket team across all three formats. He is the vice-captain of India in T20 Internationals and One Day Internationals. He is the captain of the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League and plays for Punjab in domestic cricket. He was the vice-captain of the Indian Under-19 cricket team in the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, where he was named Player of the Tournament.[1] A right-handed opening batsman, Gill holds the record for the youngest cricketer to score a double century in One Day International cricket (ODI) and for the highest individual T20I score for the Indian team. Additionally, he is the fastest player to reach 2000 runs in ODIs, achieving the milestone in 38 innings.[2] He made his List-A debut against Vidarbha in 2017 and first-class debut for Punjab against Bengal in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy, scoring a half-century in the game,[3] and 129 runs in the last match against Services.[4] He made his international debut for the Indian cricket team in January 2019.[5]
As vice-captain of India's Under-19 team, Gill scored 372 runs at an average of 124.00 in the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, where he played a crucial role in India's fourth title win and earning the edition's Player of the Tournament award.[6] His unbeaten 102 in the semi-final against Pakistan U-19 drew praise from batting greats such as Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, and Sourav Ganguly.[7][8]
In 2022, Gill was part of the IPL championship-winning Gujarat Titans team. He won the 2023 IPL Orange Cap by scoring 890 runs, the second-highest total in IPL history, including three centuries. His score of 129 in the IPL Qualifier 2 is the highest individual score in IPL Playoffs history. Gill was appointed as the captain of Gujarat Titans ahead of IPL 2024 after Hardik Pandya was traded to Mumbai Indians.
