Shubman Gill was in his elements in the third India vs England ODI as the 25-year-old batter struck fine century to extend his purple patch. Going into the Champions Trophy 2025, Gill’s scores of 87, 60 and 112 will augur well for the Indian team which is battling with off form of several senior players. Even star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is ruled out due to injury. In such a scenario, the performances and form of the likes of Shubman Gill is extra crucial for the Rohit Sharma-led side. Against England on Wednesday, Shubman Gill mixed caution with aggression and stitched crucial stands with Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer.
