The 26-year-old cricketer amassed a staggering 754 runs in five Tests at an average of 75.40, scoring four centuries and registering a career-best 269. His run spree saw him shatter multiple records, achievements that could fill an entire chapter in a traditional 'history of cricket' book within a single series.
In Tests, he scored 983 runs in nine matches at an average of 70.21, with five centuries and a fifty. In 11 ODIs, he made 490 runs at an average of 49.00, with two centuries and fifties each. T20Is were his sole format of struggle, scoring just 291 runs in 15 innings with no fifty at an average of just over 24.
Ahead of the T20I series against New Zealand and the T20 World Cup 2026, Gill has been dropped from the Indian squad. Although he is going through a lean patch in the shortest format of the game, the right-hander will be aiming to make a strong comeback to the side. Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma have received call-ups in the Indian side for the marquee tournament.
The "Men in Blue" will engage in the white-ball series against the "Black Caps" from January 11. The series will see both teams clash against each other in three ODIs and five T20I matches.
After concluding the series, Team India will head into the T20 World Cup 2026. They will begin their campaign by playing a clash against the United States on February 7 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The high-octane clash of the tournament between arch-rivals, India and Pakistan, is scheduled to be played on February 15 at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo.
