Top 3 fastest Indian batters to smash eight ODI centuries

The Indian team achieved a brilliant victory in their first game of the Champions Trophy 2025 where they defeated Bangladesh by six wickets. Shubman Gill was the Player of the Match as he scored a stunning century towards the end of the match. 

It was KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma’s valuable contribution of 41 runs that helped India clinch victory. With the century, Gill became the fastest Indian batter to smash eight ODI centuries. It is a great achievement for the young batter who played quite responsibly, holding the grip of the batting line up. 

Here are the top three fastest Indian batters to smash eight ODI centuries:

1. Shubman Gill

Opener Shubman Gill smashed his eighth century in the ODIs and became the fastest Indian batter to do so. It was a brilliant effort by the young man who played throughout the innings to get to his century. While seeing the wickets tumble in front of him, he didn’t lose his patience and continued with the momentum. He took 51 innings to score eight centuries in the format. 

2. Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan, another opener of the Indian team, had the accolade of scoring fastest eight centuries in ODIs until Gill broke his record. Dhawan, who was a part of the Champions Trophy 2013 winning team, took 57 innings to score eight centuries. Currently, he is not a part of the Indian team but he has scored some great knocks for the team in the past. 

3. Virat Kohli

Star cricketer Virat Kohli is the third fastest cricketer to reach eight centuries in ODIs. He took 68 innings to score the centuries. One of the best in the business, Kohli was in brilliant form in his young days. Currently, he is a part of the Indian team who are playing in the Champions Trophy 2025.
