Shubman Gill and the rest of the Indian batting order was outskilled by Australias bowling attack, in the first innings of the ongoing World Test Championship final at the Oval in London this week...

PREMIUM Gill celebrates a century, playing for the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League..

In the first three months of 2023, he became the youngest double centurion in one-day internationals; notched the highest individual score by an Indian in a T20 international; and scored a Test century against Australia..

All this, before he went on the rampage in the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he emerged as the seasons highest scorer..

Gill has been compared to Virat Kohli, and the IPL provided the intense and wonderful experience of a single match in which both men scored centuries (Kohli for Royal Challengers Bangalore; Gill in a winning chase)..
