Indian ODI vice-captain Shubman Gill created history in the third ODI against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

In IND vs ENG 3rd ODI, Shubman became the fastest batter to reach 2500 runs in ODI cricket.

Shubman Gill surpassed South Africa's Hashim Amla, who previously held the record, achieving the milestone in 53 innings.

Shubman Gill needed just 25 runs to reach the landmark and accomplished it in style by smashing a boundary off England pacer Gus Atkinson in the 10th over.

Shubman's consistency in the ongoing IND vs ENG ODI series has been remarkable, having scored 87 runs in the first ODI in Nagpur and 60 in the second match in Cuttack.

Gill's stellar performances have also helped him climb to second place in the ICC ODI batting rankings, overtaking Indian captain Rohit Sharma. He now has 781 rating points, while Rohit stands at 773.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's Babar Azam is on the verge of another historic feat. If he scores at least 33 runs in Pakistan's Tri-Nation Series match against South Africa, he will become the fastest batter to reach 6000 runs in ODI cricket.
