3 reasons why Shubman Gill could be India’s best performer in Champions Trophy 2025 

Indian batting ace Shubman Gill has grown leaps and bounds ever since his international debut. The 25-year-old has become one of the most important players in the side in the last few years. India’s young batting sensation has now assumed the role of the vice-captain in the ODI format to show his growing stature. 

After making his ODI debut in 2019, Gill played just three ODI matches before becoming a regular in 2022. The next year, India’s young sensation scored over 1500 runs to set the world on fire. This also included his famous double century against New Zealand during an ODI in Hyderabad. 

Shubman Gill scored 354 runs during the 2023 ODI World Cup with three half-centuries. The young batter was expected to do well in the finals but managed to score just four runs as India lost the game to Australia. Fans will expect Gill to do well during the upcoming Champions Trophy with the bat and deliver India with yet another world title. 

Reasons why Shubman Gill can do well during the Champions Trophy 2025:

3- Added responsibility as vice-captain 

Shubman Gill was recently named as the new vice-captain of the ODI side in what is being seen as a huge stamp of approval. Gill is already leading Gujarat Titans in the IPL and after a slow start to his captaincy career has begun to pick up the pacer. With Rohit Sharma in the final legs of his international career, Gill will want to justify his elevation to vice-captaincy. The 25-year-old can use this as a motivation to score runs and help India win the tournament. 

2- Overall ODI batting record

After a slow start to his ODI career, Shubman Gill has become one of the best young batters in the format. Gill has played 50 ODI matches and scored 2587 runs with seven tons and 15 fifties. The 25-year-old has an average of 60 which is one of the best in the world after having played 50 ODI matches. Gill also has a strike rate of 101 and his penchant to take the bowlers on in the first ten overs makes him a dangerous batter. 

1- Current form in ODI cricket 

England got a taste of what Shubman Gill can do with the bat during the recent ODI series. The 25-year-old began the series with his knock of 87 during the first game in Nagpur. This was followed by his knock of 60 in the second match where he added 136 for the first wicket with Rohit Sharma. In the final game, the young batter scored 112 runs off 102 balls to record his seventh ODI ton and help India score a massive 356 on the board.
