Shubman Gill Sets New Benchmark with Record ODI Batting Average
· Sports · Indian Express, News18
Indian captain Shubman Gill has reached a career batting average of 65.12 after scoring 200 runs during the recent ODI series against the West Indies. Only Virat Kohli and former Australian finisher Michael Bevan have maintained a 60-plus average at a comparable stage in their careers. Alongside his high average, Gill maintains a strike rate of 103.45 in the format. He achieved the milestone during a match at the ACA Stadium, capitalising on flat pitch conditions and short boundaries. Gill relies primarily on ground strokes and precise field manipulation rather than power-hitting ranges typical of other high strike rate players.
Why it matters
Shubman Gill's record-breaking ODI consistency reinforces his status as a cornerstone of India's batting lineup across limited-overs formats.
