Shubman Gill, one of the leading lights of Indian cricket’s new generation, has established himself across all three formats. Heading into the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka, the right-hander is on the brink of a major career milestone-needing just 30 runs to surpass Cheteshwar Pujara in India’s all-time run-scoring charts.
- Closing in on Pujara: Cheteshwar Pujara currently sits 21st on the list of India’s top run-getters across formats with 7,246 runs. Gill is right behind him at 22nd with 7,217 runs. Just 30 more runs will push Gill to the 21st spot.
- A Remarkable Feat at 26: Achieving over 7,000 international runs by the age of 26 highlights Gill’s exceptional consistency. Given his present form, crossing this mark during the Sri Lanka series seems well within reach.
- The All-Time Leaders: Sachin Tendulkar leads the overall chart for India with 34,357 international runs, followed by Virat Kohli (28,359), Rahul Dravid (24,064), Rohit Sharma (20,427), and Sourav Ganguly (18,433).
- Gill’s Current Career Stats:
- Tests: 41 matches | 2,969 runs | Avg: 44.31 | 11 100s, 8 50s
