Shubman Gill vs Adam Gilchrist - comparing their stats after 56 ODIs amid AUS vs IND 2025 series

Shubman Gill is captaining the Indian team in the three-match ODI series that is currently underway in Australia. The 26-year-old was named leader of the one-day side, replacing Rohit Sharma, despite the fact that the latter had led India to victory in Champions Trophy 2025. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar explained that the move has been made keeping the 2027 World Cup in mind.

Gill made an underwhelming start to his ODI career as captain. The right-handed batter was dismissed for 10 off 18 balls as he was strangled down leg off Nathan Ellis. India went on to lose the rain-affected match by seven wickets [DLS method]. Sent into bat, the visitors posted 136-9 in 26 overs. The Aussies chased down the target with ease in 21.1 overs.

In a relatively short one-day career, Gill has featured in 56 matches so far. In this feature, we compare his stats with that of Aussie legend Adam Gilchrist after the latter had also played 56 matches.
