Young Indian batter Shubman Gill achieved a milestone. South African batsman Hashim Amla’s record of fastest 2000 ODI runs (by innings) has been broken by Gill. Back in 2011, Amla achieved the feat in 40 innings breaking the record of Pakistan’s Zaheer Abbas. However, after 12 years, Gill took just 38 innings to surpass Proteas’ legend. He broke the record while playing against New Zealand on 22nd October 2023 (Sunday) in 28th match of ICC Men’s World Cup 2023.
