Shubman Gill once again starred with the bat in hand, continuing his fine form. The Indian skipper is in the middle of a purple patch having finished as the second highest run-getter in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. He then built on his form with a century in the one-off test against Afghanistan. Coming to the ODIs, the right-hander scored an unbeaten 84 runs to chase down a target of 195. In the second One-Day International, Gill scored 154 runs and broke a couple of records.

Shubman Gill is such a delightful batter to watch in Tests and ODIs. It’s like he controls the entire flow of the match when he’s out in the middle, truly an exceptional talent 🙌🏽

Ishan Kishan played a mixture of ODI and T20I in a single knock. The left-handed batter played within himself for the first few balls before reaching his half-century. However, once Kishan reached his fifty it seemed like he put on his T20I boots and took the attack against the Afghan bowlers. He stepped on the accelerator and scored 125 runs in only 79 balls, in a knock that featured 14 fours and seven sixes.

– Returned to the T20i team. ✅

– Ruled the T20 World Cup. ✅
