IND vs AFG: Captain’s Knock! Shubman Gill Smashes First ODI Century As India Skipper

IND vs AFG 2nd ODI Shubman Gill Century: Shubman Gill has achieved a significant milestone in his ODI captaincy journey, bringing up his maiden century as India’s skipper in the 50-over format. Opening the innings alongside former captain Rohit Sharma, Gill registered his ninth ODI hundred with a four, in 77 balls, and his first since taking charge of the Men in Blue. The landmark knock came against Afghanistan in the second fixture of the three-match series, at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, with India entering with a 1-0 lead.

Notably, this was Gill’s first ODI century since the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, when he reached three figures against Bangladesh. 

Batting alongside him, as of this writing, is Ishan Kishan, who himself is not too far away from his own century. If he manages to reach the mark, that would be the wicketkeeper-batsman’s second in the format.
