The ODI series between India and Afghanistan is starting from June 13 in Dharamshala. In this series, Indian captain Shubman Gill can not only lead the team to victory but can also create a big record. He is close to breaking Shikhar Dhawan’s 10 year old record. Also, he is close to becoming the second fastest player in the world to complete 3000 runs in ODI. In just 47 runs, Gill will reach the mark of 3000 runs in ODI cricket and with this he can create a new history in world cricket.

Shubman Gill has a chance to create history
Indian captain Shubman Gill has scored 2953 runs in 61 innings of 61 ODI matches, which includes 8 centuries and 17 half-centuries. He needs 47 more runs to complete 3000 runs. He has six innings left to break Shai Hope’s record. There is every possibility of this record being broken, but it can also be broken in the first ODI in Dharamsala. Gill holds the record for being the fastest to complete 2000 and 2500 runs in ODI cricket. Therefore, he is likely to cross the 3000-run mark in a record-breaking manner. Gill can add another important record to the list of legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in Indian cricket.

In whose name is the record of 3000 runs?
The record of completing 3000 runs in ODI cricket is in the name of Hashim Amla of South Africa. Amla had achieved this milestone in 57 innings. If Shubman Gill scores 47 or more runs in his first match against Afghanistan, he will complete 3000 runs in his 63rd innings and become the second fastest batsman in the world. Currently, Shai Hope is at second place in this list, who achieved this position in the match against India on 22 December 2019. He completed 3,000 runs in 67 innings.

Who is the fastest Indian to score 3000 runs? Indian batsman Shikhar Dhawan holds the record for scoring the fastest 3000 runs in ODI. He scored 3000 runs in 72nd innings in 2016. Gill is also on the verge of becoming the fastest Indian batsman to score 3000 runs in ODIs.
