Shubman Gill on the Verge of History: Set to Pass Pujara at Just 26

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
    • ODIs: 67 matches | 3,369 runs | Avg: 60.33 | 9 100s, 20 50s
    • T20Is: 36 matches | 869 runs | 1 100, 3 50s
