[Stats] Youngest Indian Batsmen To Score 2,000 ODI Runs

Young Indian opener Shubman Gill has been quickly climbing the ladder in international cricket. It feels only recently that Shubman Gill made his ODI debut in New Zealand on the 2019 tour.

He didn’t get much chances initially due to the presence of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, but in the past year he displaced Dhawan as the Rohit’s opening partner and is now setting the ODI cricket ablaze.

Shubman Gill has started off on a terrific note in ODI cricket. He recently became the fastest batsman in terms of innings in the history of ODI cricket to 2000 ODI runs, leaving behind even the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Quinton de Kock. He is now the 5th youngest Indian to reach 2000 ODI runs.

Gill scored 26 runs against New Zealand in the Dharamsala ODI which was part of the World Cup 2023 tournament. There he etched history by becoming the fastest to 2000 ODI runs, completing this record in his 38th ODI innings, breaking the record of 40 innings by South African great Hashim Amla.
