NEW DELHI: India's dynamic opening batsman, Shubman Gill, etched his name in cricket history by surpassing Hashim Amla's record, emerging as the fastest cricketer to reach the coveted 2,000-run mark in One Day International (ODI) cricket.
This remarkable feat transpired during India's World Cup match against New Zealand, where Gill's swift ascent to this milestone played a pivotal role in India's pursuit of New Zealand's 273-run target in Dharamsala.
Gill's awe-inspiring journey to the 2,000-run milestone required just 38 innings, a remarkable achievement that bettered the previous record held by South Africa's Hashim Amla, who had reached the same milestone in 40 innings. Gill's accomplishment not only reflects his prodigious batting talent but also provided India with a robust start in their endeavour to chase down New Zealand's target.
