Career

Shubman Gill was Player of the Tournament at the 2018 Under-19 World Cup and moved into the senior India side within two years. He is a classical top-order batter — high elbow, strong through the covers, comfortable playing late — in a generation that has largely prioritised power.

His breakthrough came in Australia in 2020-21, where he batted with notable composure against a full-strength pace attack as a twenty-one-year-old. He has since become a fixture across formats and taken on the ODI opening role alongside, and later in place of, the previous generation.

He captained Gujarat Titans in the IPL and has been given leadership responsibility with India, marking him as part of the succession plan across formats.
