Shubman Gill is an Indian international cricketer who has rapidly established himself as one of the brightest young talents in world cricket. Born on September 8, 1999, in Fazilka, Punjab, Gill made headlines early in his career for his exceptional timing, technique, and composure at the crease. His rise began with a standout performance at the 2018 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, where he was named the Player of the Tournament for scoring 372 runs and playing a crucial role in India’s title win under Prithvi Shaw’s captaincy.
Gill made his international debut for India in January 2019, and since then, he has become a regular feature across formats. His elegant cover drives, quick footwork, and ability to adapt to all conditions have earned him comparisons with legends of the game. He recorded his maiden Test century in Bangladesh (2022) and went on to score a double hundred in ODIs against New Zealand in 2023 — becoming one of the youngest players to achieve the feat.
In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Shubman Gill began his career with the Kolkata Knight Riders before moving to the Gujarat Titans, where he became one of the tournament’s top run-scorers and won the Orange Cap in IPL 2023. His calm leadership and consistent performances also saw him appointed as captain of the Gujarat Titans ahead of IPL 2024.
Known for his discipline, work ethic, and hunger for big scores, Gill is often regarded as the next big superstar of Indian cricket and a potential future captain of the national team.
