Shubman Gill, a renowned Indian batter, is without a doubt one of the best in the industry right now. Shubman Gill, who is only 24 years old, has quickly emerged as one of cricket’s most promising young players, and his performances have even the best bowlers in awe.
The opener was outstanding in the recently finished Asia Cup 2023, scoring 302 runs at an astounding average of 75.50. His performance assisted India in winning the Asia Cup. Additionally, his efforts helped him rise to second place in the ICC ODI batter rankings.
Shubman Gill now holds the second-place position with an 814 rating.
It is noteworthy that the 24-year-old is only slightly behind Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, who holds the lead with a rating of 857. The three-match ODI series between India and Australia is due to start on Friday, September 22, and if Gill plays to the best of his ability against Australia, he has a chance to move up to rank 1.
Shubman Gill will need to hit 200 runs to surpass Babar and take the top spot in the ICC ODI batter rankings. The 24-year-old will be hoping to help his team against Australia by scoring some much-needed runs.
India’s first ODI match against Australia is in Mohali.
On September 22, Team India and Australia will face off at the Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium in Mohali to begin their ODI series. Both parties will be hoping the three-game series may act as useful preparation for the forthcoming ODI World Cup 2023, which gets underway on October 5.
Notably, on October 8, India and Australia will face off to kick off their World Cup campaigns at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. The ODI series could give both teams a decent understanding of the different strategies they might use when they face off against each other in the World Cup.
