Cricketer Shubman Gill Achieves Milestone, Reaching 6,000 International Runs in Notable England Series
In a remarkable display of consistency and batting prowess, Indian cricketer Shubman Gill reached the 6,000-run milestone in international cricket during the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 at The Oval.
Gill's run tally in the England series now stands at an impressive 722 runs in eight innings. This feat has solidified his position as one of the most consistent batters in world cricket since his debut.
The 25-year-old's batting style, characterized by trademark elegance and composure, has been a sight to behold. His latest record-breaking performances have not only strengthened his reputation as a formidable batsman but also established him as a potential leader.
Gill achieved this milestone at The Oval, continuing his dream run with the bat. His international centuries break down as 9 in Tests, 8 in ODIs, and 1 in T20Is. His highest international score is 269 in Test cricket against England in July 2025.
Across formats, Gill has played 113 international matches, scoring a total of 6000 runs. He has a strong batting average: 42.18 in Tests, 59.04 in ODIs, and 30.42 in T20Is. In 2025 alone, he scored 1065 runs across all formats at an impressive average of 87.33, making him India’s most prolific batter that year.
As of mid-2025, Gill has recently been a key player in major ICC events such as the ICC Champions Trophy in February 2025, where he was the highest-ranked ODI batter entering the tournament. Though explicit future tournament schedules are not listed, given his ongoing form and status, he is expected to feature prominently in upcoming international fixtures, including Test series, ICC events, and bilateral series India participates in throughout the 2025-2026 season.
As captain, Gill has led a relatively young Indian side with great success. His average in the England series is 90.25, and he has scored four centuries in the series. His overall average in international cricket stands at 46.6.
Gill's latest achievement, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar's long-standing record of 732 runs in a Test series by an Indian captain, sets a new benchmark with 737 runs and counting. He joins cricketing icons Don Bradman and Sunil Gavaskar as one of the few captains to score four centuries in a series.
With his remarkable form and leadership skills, Shubman Gill's 6,000 international runs could just be the start of an extraordinary legacy.
Sports have witnessed the consistent dominance of Shubman Gill, with his latest achievement in cricket being the accumulation of 6,000 runs in international competitions, showcasing his exceptional talent and promise for the future. Despite being only 25 years old, Gill's prowess at the bat has solidified his position as a leading force in multiple cricket formats, setting new benchmarks in the sport.
