Shubman Gill overtakes Hashim Amla to create history in IND vs ENG 2025 3rd ODI

India's vice-captain Shubman Gill has become the fastest player to score 2,500 runs in ODI cricket. The 25-year-old accomplished this remarkable feat during the ongoing third and final ODI between India and England on Wednesday, February 12. The match is being held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

On the fifth ball of the 10th over of India’s innings, the opening batter hit a boundary to surpass 2,500 career runs, achieving the milestone in just his 50th innings. With this feat, he broke Hashim Amla’s record, who had reached 2,500 ODI runs in 51 innings.

Since making his ODI debut in 2019, Shubman has rapidly ascended through the ranks to become one of India's key players. Before the ongoing third ODI against England, he had accumulated 2,475 runs in 49 matches at an impressive average of 58.92, including 15 fifties and six centuries.

His career-best knock of 208 off 149 balls came against New Zealand in 2023 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
