Shubman Gill On The Verge Of Achieving New Career Milestone In ODIs

Earlier, on October 4, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Team India's squad for the white-ball tour of Australia. The BCCI named Shubman Gill as the new ODI captain after axing Rohit Sharma's leadership duties.

The upcoming ODI series against Australia will be a crucial one for Shubman Gill as he will be leading a world-class Men in Blue squad, which consists of legendary players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

In the upcoming three-match ODI series, Shubman Gill will get an opportunity to achieve a remarkable career milestone. The 26-year-old batter needs 225 more runs to complete 3000 ODI runs.
