Team India opener Shubman Gill continued his splendid form in the year 2023 in ODIs as he slammed his fourth century of the year keeping his side afloat in a tricky situation the Men in Blue found themselves in the Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours encounter against Bangladesh. Team India found themselves in a tricky position but Gill held one end up and smashed his way to a memorable ton, probably the most important in his career so far.
On the way to his fifth ODI century, Gill completed 1500 runs in international cricket and 1000 runs in ODIs in 2023, becoming the first man to achieve both feats. Gill brought up his century off 117 balls and got really aggressive after reaching the three-figure mark to ensure that India don’t fall too far behind the run rate.
Most runs in ODIs in 2023
1025 – Shubman Gill (India) in 17 innings
934 – Asif Khan (UAE) in 24 innings
817 – Pathum Nissanka (Sri Lanka) in 19 innings
792 – V Aravind (UAE) in 26 innings

However, he played one shot too many against as off-spinner Mahedi Hasan’s wide delivery did the trick as Gill could get as far as the long-off fielder.
