The 25-year-old opener reached his seventh ODI hundred off just 95 balls, cementing his reputation as one of the most consistent batters in the format.&nbsp;Gill’s milestone knock also saw him achieve two remarkable records. He became the fastest batter to reach 2,500 ODI runs, achieving the feat in his 50th match, surpassing South Africa’s Hashim Amla, who had previously held the record at 51 innings. Additionally, the Gujarat Titans captain reached 5000 international runs in just 131 innings across formats.His impressive performances in the ODI series against England have also seen him climb to second place in the latest ICC ODI batting rankings, overtaking India skipper Rohit Sharma.

The right-hander had previously registered his highest T20I score of an unbeaten 126 against New Zealand at the same venue in February 2023.A month later, he scored his maiden Test century on the same ground against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, making 128 off 251 balls.
