Virat Kohli: Barely at the age of 19, Indian cricket has got a new star, which shocked everyone by breaking the big record of Virat Kohli. This young batsman created history by becoming the youngest player to complete 1000 runs in ODI cricket. His success is not only a proof of his talent, but also indicates that he reaches a big place in the coming time.
1000 ODI runs completed at the youngest
Actually, the cricketer we are talking about is none other than Shubhman Gill. Gill completed 1000 ODI runs at the age of just 19 years and 334 days, which is the youngest player ever to make this record.
Earlier this record was named after Virat Kohli, who achieved this feat at the age of 22 years and 54 days. This historical achievement of Gill has made him the new superstar of Indian cricket.
Dual century and fastest 2500 runs in ODIs
Gill established himself as a trusted opener in limited overs cricket by scoring a double century at the age of 23. Along with this, he completed another big record by completing 2000 runs in only 38 innings and 2500 in 50 innings.
These figures show that he is scoring fast with continuity and has joined the big stars of cricket. Not only ODI cricket, Shubman Gill has also proved himself in Test Cricket.
He held the record of the Indian batsman who scored the most runs in the Test series against England and also left behind the veteran like Rahul Dravid. Apart from this, the record of hitting the most sixes in a series on foreign soil is now his name.
The figures presented by this young batsman in the early stages of career are proving better not only to Virat Kohli, but in many cases. After 138 innings, where he has 5,515 runs in his account, Kohli had 5,503 runs at the same time.
In ODIs, this player has scored more runs, better average and more centuries than Virat Kohli within his first 50 matches. In Test cricket too, he has scored 1,893 runs in 32 matches, while Kohli scored 1,855 runs by the age of 25.
