Hyderabad, January 18
India opener Shubman Gill has added a number of records to his name following his double century in the Hyderabad ODI. He holds the distinction of being the youngest Indian batsman to score a double century in ODIs, the fastest Indian to reach the 1,000-run milestone, and the highest individual score in ODIs against New Zealand. Gill’s impressive performance in the first ODI against New Zealand, where he scored 208 off 149, has earned him a spot among the elite list of Indian players who have scored double centuries in ODIs, joining Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan.
Gill is also the fastest Indian and second-joint fastest overall to reach 1,000 runs in ODIs, and the youngest of the eight players in the club. He overtook Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan, who held the previous record at 24 innings, to become the fastest Indian and joint-second fastest ever to reach the 1,000 runs mark in ODIs.
