During the Asia Cup 2023, Gill showcased his exceptional batting prowess, amassing a total of 302 runs with an astonishing average of 75.50. His contributions played a pivotal role in India’s triumph in the tournament. Moreover, these performances catapulted him to the second spot in the ICC ODI batter rankings, with a rating of 814.

However, Gill has his sights set on the top spot, which is currently occupied by Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, boasting a rating of 857.

The young cricketer is undoubtedly a rising star in Indian cricket, and his fans are hopeful that he can deliver a spectacular performance against Australia to claim the pinnacle of ODI batting rankings.

The ODI series between India and Australia holds significant importance as it serves as valuable preparation for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023, set to kick off on October 5. Both teams will be keen to fine-tune their strategies and gain insights into each other’s tactics before the World Cup begins. The opening match of the series takes place at the Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium in Mohali, promising cricket enthusiasts an exciting clash.

As fans eagerly await the battle for supremacy between India and Australia, all eyes will be on Shubman Gill, who aims to make a historic leap to the No. 1 spot in the ICC ODI batter rankings.
