In a country where cricket is religion, prodigies are plenty—but only a few rise to truly become the future of the game. Shubman Gill, with his elegant drives, unshakable temperament, and quiet confidence, has risen above hype and expectations to stake his claim as India next great batter.
He isn’t just a technically sound batsman; he’s a generational talent who adapts to the needs of every format. From the gritty resilience of red-ball cricket to the tempo-driven world of T20s, Gill has thrived everywhere.
As of July 2025, Gill’s tally of 21 professional centuries is an awe-inspiring feat, especially considering he’s only 25 years old. The breakdown of his tons across formats looks like this:
- 8 Test centuries
- 8 ODI centuries
- 1 T20I century
- 4 IPL centuries
This isn’t just a player with talent—it’s a career already filled with moments that define greatness. Let’s explore his century-making journey across formats.
Test Centuries: Calm, Composed, and Clinical
Shubman Gill made his Test debut during one of the most iconic series in Indian history—the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Since then, he has cemented his place at the top of the order, consistently delivering in tough conditions.
As of mid-2025, Gill has 8 centuries in Test cricket. These include a sensational double hundred and a historic twin-century performance in a single Test—something very few Indians have ever achieved.
List of Test Centuries:
| No. | Score | Opposition | 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 performance in the Edgbaston Test was nothing short of historic. With a 269 in the first innings and 161 in the second, he became the first Indian in 93 years to score centuries in both innings of a Test. That too, as captain. It wasn’t just about the runs—it was the authority and leadership that stood out.
ODI Centuries: Flourishing in the 50-Over Game
If Gill’s Test numbers reflect maturity, his ODI performances show hunger and rhythm. In the 50-over format, Gill has become a run machine—sharp, stylish, and merciless. He has 8 ODI centuries to his name, including a dazzling double century, achieved against one of the world’s top teams.
List of 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 |
His 208 vs New Zealand was a statement knock. Not only did it make him the youngest Indian to score a double century in ODIs, but it also signaled his arrival on the world stage. His ODI strike rate has improved dramatically in the past two years, and his ability to anchor and accelerate makes him an ideal top-order player.
T20I Century: Entering the Exclusive Club
Though he debuted in T20Is a bit later compared to his ODI and Test stints, Gill adapted quickly. Often seen as more classical in style, he stunned critics with his blistering 126 not out in 2023, proving he could dominate in the shortest format too.
T20I Century:
| No. | Score | Opponent | Venue | Date |
| 1 | 126* | New Zealand | Ahmedabad | 01-Feb-2023 |
That knock wasn’t just quick—it was dominant. Played at a strike rate of 200+, it showcased Gill’s ability to go ballistic when the situation demands. More importantly, with this ton, he joined the elite list of Indian players with centuries in all three international formats.
IPL Centuries: Lighting Up the League
Shubman Gill’s journey in the IPL has been fascinating. From being a composed youngster at Kolkata Knight Riders to becoming Gujarat Titans’ primary run-getter, his rise has been consistent and impactful.He has hit 4 IPL centuries so far, with a mind-blowing run in the 2023 season, where he smashed 3 of those.
List of 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 playoffs was a sensational knock. The innings not only took Gujarat Titans into the final but also helped Gill win the Orange Cap for the most runs in IPL 2023. In 2024, he continued that form with a polished hundred against Punjab Kings.
More Than Just Stats: Maturity and Leadership
Gill’s batting numbers are spectacular, but what’s equally impressive is his composure. He rarely shows emotion at the crease, instead letting his bat do the talking. That mental strength has led many to compare him with Virat Kohli and even MS Dhoni in terms of temperament.As a newly appointed Test captain, Gill has stepped into leadership seamlessly. His match-winning performances under pressure, especially in England, showed a new level of maturity. He has started to lead by example—whether through anchoring innings or setting attacking fields.
