Captain Shubman Gill became the fastest Indian and second-fastest player overall to reach 3,000 ODI runs on Saturday, reaching the milestone during the first ODI against Afghanistan at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. The right-handed batter also brought up a half-century in the process.
Gill surpassed Shikhar Dhawan, who held the previous Indian record, having taken 72 innings to reach the milestone. Dhawan had held the record among Indian batters until Gill eclipsed it. Gill came into the match needing 47 runs to get to 3,000, having accumulated 2,953 runs in 61 ODI innings at an average of 55.71.
