Shubman Gill vs Harry Brook - comparing their stats after 33 ODIs

India’s ODI captain Shubman Gill didn’t have the best of starts to his first assignment as skipper in the 50-over format, as the Men in Blue lost the three-match series 2-1 against Australia. The series, which concluded on Saturday, October 25, also saw the 26-year-old struggle with the bat, managing just 43 runs across three innings.

Gill will now be eager to find form in the upcoming five-match T20I series against Australia, beginning October 29.

On the other hand, England’s ODI captain Harry Brook made a strong impression with the bat in the first ODI of the three-match series against New Zealand, held on Sunday, October 26, at Mount Maunganui. After being put in to bat, England endured a disappointing outing, getting bowled out for 223 in 35.2 overs, but Brook stood tall with a brilliant 135 off 101 balls, studded with nine fours and 11 sixes.

In reply, the hosts chased down the target in 36.4 overs to clinch a four-wicket win. Despite England ending on the losing side, Brook’s explosive century stole the spotlight.

On that note, let’s compare the ODI records of Shubman Gill and Harry Brook after 33 matches.
