Career

Shubman Gill was Player of the Tournament at the 2018 Under-19 World Cup and moved into the senior India side within two years. He is a classical top-order batter — high elbow, strong through the covers, comfortable playing late — in a generation that has largely prioritised power.

His breakthrough came in Australia in 2020-21, where he batted with notable composure against a full-strength pace attack as a twenty-one-year-old. He has since become a fixture across formats and taken on the ODI opening role alongside, and later in place of, the previous generation.

He captained Gujarat Titans in the IPL and has been given leadership responsibility with India, marking him as part of the succession plan across formats.

Overview

How this page was worked out

Where these figures come from

Sources for this profile

  • IPL figures computed from ball-by-ball records of 1,243 IPL matches.
  • International figures computed from Cricsheet ball-by-ball data, used under the Open Data Commons Attribution License 1.0.
  • Date of birth, playing style and photograph come from a third-party player feed, matched by name.

How the numbers are derived

  • A wide is not a ball faced; a no ball is.
  • Byes and leg byes are not charged to the bowler; wides and no balls are.
  • Six kinds of dismissal are credited to a bowler. A run out is not one of them.
  • An average is runs over dismissals, and is left blank rather than shown as infinite.
