Shubman Gill etches his name into the record books, becomes only the third player to achieve this special feat

In a year that will forever be etched in the annals of cricketing history, the prodigious talent of Shubman Gill has soared to unprecedented heights. With an impeccable display of skill, resilience, and unyielding determination, Gill has carved his name in golden letters, etching his mark as one of the most extraordinary talents of our time. 

Gill’s special record

As the cricketing world stood witness to his breathtaking performance, the young maestro etched his name in the record books, becoming only the third player in history to achieve the illustrious feat of scoring a century in ODI, Test, T20i, and IPL formats, all in the same year. 

It was during an exhilarating encounter against the Sunrisers Hyderabad when Gill orchestrated a stunning display of power, precision, and grace. His willow danced to the tune of brilliance, dispatching the cricket ball to all corners of the ground, as he notched a magnificent 101 runs off a mere 58 balls. 

The crowd erupted in jubilation, acknowledging the arrival of a true gem in the cricketing firmament. This remarkable inning marked his maiden hundred in the fiercely competitive arena of the Indian Premier League, catapulting him into the realm of legends.

The first to achieve this extraordinary feat was none other than the former Sri Lankan captain and batting maestro, Mahela Jayawardene, back in the year 2010. A trailblazer in his own right, Jayawardene set the bar high for future generations, leaving an indelible mark on the cricketing world.

Fast forward to the year 2019, and another name was etched in the history books. The Australian dynamo, David Warner, showcased his phenomenal talent and unleashed a torrent of runs, becoming the second player to accomplish the remarkable milestone of scoring a century in ODI, Test, T20i, and IPL formats in a single year.

2023: The year of Shubman Gill

With an unwavering hunger for success, Shubman Gill has transcended boundaries and formats, leaving an indelible impression on the cricketing landscape. In a year where consistency met brilliance, Gill has plundered a staggering six centuries, affirming his status as a batsman par excellence. Three of these astonishing tons were recorded in the One-Day Internationals, one in the captivating cauldron of Test cricket against Australia, one gritting hundred against New Zealand in T20 international, and the latest addition to his remarkable collection emerged from the IPL. 

Perhaps the crowning jewel in Gill’s exceptional journey this year was his colossal double century against New Zealand in the 50-over format. A staggering total of 1556 runs across the Tests, ODIs, T20 internationals, and the IPL eloquently encapsulates the sheer brilliance that has graced the cricketing arena. 

As cricket enthusiasts worldwide marvel at Gill’s extraordinary achievements, the future shines brighter than ever for this young virtuoso. With his unwavering commitment to excellence and an insatiable appetite for success, Gill has firmly entrenched himself as one of the game’s brightest stars.
