Shubman Gill’s feat
10
The number of innings Shubman Gill needed to reach his career milestone of 500 ODI runs.
This is now the quickest — in terms of innings — by an Indian to reach this landmark. For the record, South African Janneman Malan reached this landmark in September 2021 in fewest innings — just seven. He is followed by England’s Dennis Amiss and Kevin Pietersen, Netherlands’ Tom Cooper and Pakistani Imam-ul-haq who did so in nine innings.

For the record, Kuldeep Yadav is the quickest to reach the landmark — in just 24 matches, while Shamsi needed 39 matches and Hogg 47.
