Champions Trophy 2025 / Will Gill be able to do the miracle, will he become number 1 in this matter

Champions Trophy 2025: The Indian cricket team reached Dubai on 15 February to participate in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In this prestigious tournament, the Indian team will have to take the field without star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, as he is out of the tournament due to injury. However, despite this, the Indian team is considered a strong contender to win the title, the main reason for which is the team's batsmen being in tremendous form.

Confidence gained from ODI series against England

The Indian batting order performed brilliantly in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against England, in which the most impressive player was vice-captain Shubman Gill. Gill introduced his form by batting brilliantly in all three matches. Now Indian fans will expect a great performance from him in the Champions Trophy as well.

Shubman Gill has a chance to break Hashim Amla's record

Shubman Gill completed 2500 runs of his career in the ODI series against England, in which his century in the third match was very special. He became the fastest player to score 2500 runs in ODI cricket. Now he has a golden opportunity to break a big record of legendary South African batsman Hashim Amla in the Champions Trophy 2025.

If Gill scores 413 more runs in the tournament, he will complete 3000 runs in ODIs. By doing so, he will become the player to achieve this feat in the least number of innings. Hashim Amla completed 3000 runs in ODIs in 57 innings, while Gill has scored 2587 runs in 50 innings so far.

Breaking the record is not easy but possible

The Indian team will have to play three matches in the group stage, while if the team reaches the semi-finals and finals, it will get a chance to play five matches in total. In such a situation, Gill will have full opportunity to break this record. Looking at his current form, it would not be wrong to say that he can break this record.

Gill's second experience in ICC tournament

Playing in ICC tournament is the dream of every player. This will be the second time for Shubman Gill when he will play in a limited overs ICC tournament. Earlier, he participated in the 2023 ODI World Cup, where his performance was excellent.

At present, Gill is considered one of the most important players of the Indian team. When his bat works, the victory of the Indian team is almost certain. In such a situation, big innings will be expected from him in the Champions Trophy as well.

India's first match on 20 February

The Indian team will play its first match against Bangladesh on 20 February at the Dubai International Stadium. This match will be very important, as a win will give the team a good start and will also boost confidence to move forward in the tournament.

Now it will be interesting to see whether Shubman Gill is able to create history in this tournament and whether the Indian team is successful in winning the ICC title once again or not.
