Shubman Gill has become the face of India’s new batting era—young, composed, technically flawless, and supremely confident. A player who not only promises brilliance but delivers it with remarkable consistency. From being a prodigious teen with a bat in hand during the 2018 U-19 World Cup to captaining India in Test cricket and notching up centuries across all formats, Gill’s rise has been nothing short of spectacular.
By July 2025, he has amassed an impressive 21 professional centuries, split across all formats of the game:
- 8 Test centuries
- 8 ODI centuries
- 1 T20I century
- 4 IPL centuries
At just 25, Shubman Gill has not only fulfilled early expectations but is also laying the foundation to become one of the greats of the game. Let’s walk through his century-making feats across formats and understand why he’s the player everyone’s talking about.
Test Centuries: Old-School Temperament, Modern-Day Flair
Gill’s Test debut came during a crucial phase—India’s 2020–21 tour of Australia. He impressed instantly, playing key innings under pressure. But what followed over the next five years truly defined him as a Test cricketer.
With 8 Test centuries, he has already joined the elite club of Indian openers who thrive in the red-ball format. His centuries have come in both subcontinent and overseas conditions, proving his versatility.
List of Shubman Gill’s Test Centuries:
| No. | Score | Opponent | Venue | Date |
| 1 | 110 | Bangladesh | Chattogram | 14-Dec-2022 |
| 2 | 128 | Australia | Ahmedabad | 09-Mar-2023 |
| 3 | 104 | England | Visakhapatnam | 04-Feb-2024 |
| 4 | 110 | England | Dharamshala | 08-Mar-2024 |
| 5 | 119* | England | Chennai | 21-Sep-2024 |
| 6 | 147 | England | Headingley, Leeds | 20-Jun-2025 |
| 7 | 269 | England | Edgbaston, Birmingham | 02-Jul-2025 |
| 8 | 161 | England | Edgbaston, Birmingham | 05-Jul-2025 |
His 269 and 161 in the same Test at Edgbaston was a historic feat. Gill became the first Indian in 93 years to score centuries in both innings of a Test match. Not only that, he did it as captain, leading from the front with a dominating performance. The double hundred was a career-best and showcased his ability to bat long and wear down bowling attacks.
ODI Centuries: The New Benchmark in White-Ball Consistency
Gill’s transition into ODI cricket has been seamless. After making his ODI debut in 2019, he rose rapidly through the ranks, proving himself to be India’s most reliable opener post the Rohit-Dhawan era. His ability to build innings, rotate strike, and finish strong makes him the complete package.
As of now, he has scored 8 centuries in ODIs, including a dazzling double century that put him in a league of his own.
List of Shubman Gill’s ODI Centuries:
| No. | Score | Opponent | Venue | Date |
| 1 | 130 | Zimbabwe | Harare | 22-Aug-2022 |
| 2 | 116 | Sri Lanka | Thiruvananthapuram | 15-Jan-2023 |
| 3 | 208 | New Zealand | Hyderabad | 18-Jan-2023 |
| 4 | 112 | New Zealand | Indore | 24-Jan-2023 |
| 5 | 121 | Bangladesh | Colombo | 15-Sep-2023 |
| 6 | 104 | Australia | Indore | 24-Sep-2023 |
| 7 | 112 | England | Ahmedabad | 12-Feb-2025 |
| 8 | 101* | Bangladesh | Dubai | 20-Feb-2025 |
That 208 vs New Zealand in Hyderabad was a coming-of-age knock. Gill not only became the youngest Indian to score a double century in ODIs but also became only the fifth Indian overall to achieve the feat. The innings was built on patience, precise stroke-play, and fearless hitting in the death overs.
In just a few years, Gill has become India’s go-to batter in ODIs, consistently delivering in both bilateral series and tournaments.
T20I Century: Silencing the Critics with Fireworks
There was a time when some doubted Gill’s suitability for T20s. Many believed his elegant style wouldn’t translate into the power-driven world of T20 internationals. He shut down those critics emphatically with a record-breaking 126 against New Zealand*.
Gill’s T20I Century:
| No. | Score | Opponent | Venue | Date |
| 1 | 126* | New Zealand | Ahmedabad | 01-Feb-2023 |
That unbeaten knock came off just 63 balls and had everything—timing, six-hitting, fearless intent, and effortless boundary strokes. With that ton, Gill joined the elite club of Indian cricketers to have centuries in all three formats, a distinction shared with legends like Kohli and Rohit.
IPL Centuries: Gujarat’s Batting King
The Indian Premier League has long been a platform where stars are born and legends are established. For Shubman Gill, it became the stage where he transformed from a young prodigy into a bonafide superstar. Initially groomed at Kolkata Knight Riders, his move to Gujarat Titans gave him the space to evolve—and he didn’t disappoint.
Gill now has 4 IPL centuries, three of which came during the incredible 2023 season.
List of Shubman Gill’s IPL Centuries:
| No. | Score | Opponent | Venue | Date |
| 1 | 101 | Sunrisers Hyderabad | Ahmedabad | 15-May-2023 |
| 2 | 104* | Royal Challengers Bangalore | Ahmedabad | 21-May-2023 |
| 3 | 129 | Mumbai Indians | Ahmedabad | 26-May-2023 |
| 4 | 104 | Punjab Kings | Ahmedabad | 01-Apr-2024 |
His 129 against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2023 Qualifier 2 is widely considered one of the greatest innings in playoff history. It was pure dominance—scoring all around the ground, handling pace and spin with ease, and taking Gujarat Titans to the final.
That IPL season saw him finish as the Orange Cap winner, with over 850 runs. In 2024, he continued the momentum with a commanding century against Punjab Kings, proving it was no fluke.
Mental Strength and Captaincy: Gill 2.0
What makes Shubman Gill stand out isn’t just his runs—it’s his demeanor. Rarely flustered, never arrogant, and always thinking, Gill plays cricket with a maturity that defies his age.
His elevation to the role of Test captain in early 2025 was met with widespread approval. And he didn’t take long to prove his leadership mettle. In the Edgbaston Test against England, he not only scored twin centuries but marshaled his team to a memorable win. His calm approach under pressure is reminiscent of Dhoni’s coolness and Kohli’s tactical awareness—a rare and potent mix.
Off the field too, Gill leads by example, choosing hard work over hype and staying away from controversies. He has become a role model for youngsters across the country.
Final Verdict: A Legend in the Making
By mid-2025, Shubman Gill’s record already reads like a veteran’s:
- 8 Test centuries
- 8 ODI centuries
- 1 T20I century
- 4 IPL centuries
That’s 21 centuries across formats—before turning 26.
Whether grinding in the whites, dominating white-ball cricket, or taking the IPL by storm, Gill has proven time and again that he belongs among the best. With age, experience, and more responsibility on his side, the future only looks brighter.
He’s not just the future of Indian cricket—he’s the present. And we’re all lucky to witness his story unfold.
