Shubman Gill Hits 10th ODI Century to Equal MS Dhoni's Milestone

Shubman Gill reached a significant career milestone on Sunday, notching his 10th ODI century during India's clash against the West Indies in Thiruvananthapuram. The Indian captain’s composed innings saw him reach the three-figure mark in style, driving a full delivery from Jayden Seales through the off-side gap for a boundary.

Following the shot, the skipper acknowledged the cheering crowd by removing his helmet and bowing, a gesture met with a standing ovation from the spectators. The century serves as the latest highlight in a productive 2026 campaign for the opener, who has maintained consistent form throughout the year.

Joining Elite Company and Capitalizing on Opportunity

With this performance, Gill has drawn level with MS Dhoni on the list of Indian batters with the most ODI centuries. Achieving this feat in just 68 matches and 67 innings, he continues to climb the ranks in a list currently headed by Virat Kohli with 54 centuries, followed by Sachin Tendulkar with 49 and Rohit Sharma with 34. In addition to his 10 centuries, Gill has also accumulated 20 half-centuries in the format.

The innings was not without its moments of fortune, as the West Indies missed an early opportunity to dismiss the captain. Keemo Paul dropped a catch when Gill was on just 11, a mistake that proved costly for the visitors as he anchored the innings to reach his milestone. This century adds to an impressive run of scores for the batter in 2026, which includes notable contributions of 154, 84 not out, and 80 not out, further cementing his role at the top of the order.
