They don’t call him the Baby GOAT just like that! Shubman Gill slammed his 6th ODI ton and his 5th ODI in the calendar year of 2023. Simply better than the rest, Gill showcased his worth this year. 5 centuries, 5 fifties, and a double century demark the year that Shubman Gill had. In the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI, Gill hammered 104 runs with 6 fours and 4 sixes to batter the Aussies. He is now chasing Sachin Tendulkar’s World record of 9 ODI hundreds in a year, back in 1998.
