A premier top-order batter and the face of the next generation of Indian cricket, Shubman Gill (born September 8, 1999) has solidified his status as a modern-day great. Often referred to as “The Prince,” the Punjab-born cricketer is celebrated for his classical technique, composure under pressure, and the ability to dominate across all three formats of the game.
As of January 21, 2026, Gill is fresh from leading India in a high-octane ODI series against New Zealand. Following a historic 2025 season where he finished as the highest run-scorer in Test cricket, he has been officially retained as Captain of the Gujarat Titans (GT) for the IPL 2026 season at a valuation of ₹16.50 Crore.

The Edgbaston Masterclass: In July 2025, Gill smashed a monumental 269 against England at Edgbaston. This innings broke several records, including the highest Test score by an Indian captain outside of Asia.

Versatility: He became one of the few batters in history to notch up double-hundreds in both Test and ODI cricket.
International Leadership & Champions Trophy Triumph
Gill’s tactical acumen saw him appointed as India’s Test and white-ball captain at the age of 25. He served as the Vice-Captain during India’s 2025 ICC Champions Trophy victory in Dubai, where his century against Bangladesh in the semi-finals was pivotal to India lifting the trophy.
IPL Legacy: The Face of Gujarat Titans
After a stellar tenure with KKR, Gill’s move to Gujarat Titans in 2022 transformed his career. He was instrumental in their maiden title win in 2022 and followed it up with an Orange Cap-winning season in 2023, scoring a staggering 890 runs.
