Shubman Gill's record as captain across formats in all tournaments in 39 matches
Shubman Gill's record as captain across formats in all tournaments in 39 matches
Shubman Gill's young Indian team gave a good account of itself in its first assignment against England. Gill, who scored 754 runs with the bat, didn't let the responsibility of captaincy bog him down, especially with the bat as he readies himself for some more.
Shubman Gill began his Test captaincy career for India on a tough tour to England, and even though the visitors may not have won the series, winning a couple of games and him scoring 754 runs across five matches seemed to be a positive sign going forward for the young skipper.

After Hardik Pandya's departure, Gill was named the captain of his IPL franchise Gujarat Titans, ahead of the 2024 edition. Missing a couple of key players in Hardik and Mohammed Shami, the Titans failed to qualify for the playoffs in 2024, but came storming back in 2025, following a mega auction and made it to the playoffs yet again.

In 2024, just after the IPL, Gill was named the captain of the Indian T20 team for the Zimbabwe series. Even though India lost a game, the series win by 4-1 kept the selectors interested as to what was to come next with respect to Gill as the captain.

Gill began his captaincy career in 2019 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Punjab, before moving on to leading the country in T20Is and Tests and his IPL franchise in 2024. Overall, Gill has won 21 matches out of 39 that he has led various sides across tournaments in domestic as well as international cricket.

Gill might be promoted to the role in the ODIs as well, but with the start he has had in the IPL and now in Tests, the 25-year-old hasn't looked out of place or bogged down by the responsibility and it seems like the team management and the selectors are placing all their bets on this trump card.
