Shubman Gill Hits 10th ODI Century Against West Indies, Joins MS Dhoni In Elite Indian List

India captain Shubman Gill added another feather to his cap on Sunday, September 27, 2026, notching up his 10th century in One Day International (ODI) cricket in India's first ODI match against the West Indies at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.

Gill reached three figures with a boundary from a West Indies fast bowler, Jayden Seales. He took off his helmet to acknowledge the ovation from the Thiruvananthapuram crowd after completing his century.

Shubman Gill Joins MS Dhoni as ODI Starring Batsmen

• With his 10th ODI century, Gill equaled the tally of Indian centuries by his former skipper MS Dhoni.
• Gill reached the landmark in only 68 ODIs and 67 innings. In addition, he has 20 ODI half-centuries to his name.
• Among the Indian batters, Virat Kohli has the highest tally of ODI centuries with 54, while Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma have 49 and 34, respectively. With this century, Gill and Dhoni have scored the same number of ODI centuries.

Gill Makes the Most of an Early Lifeline

Gill's century came on the back of a reprieve as West Indies' fielder Keemo Paul failed to hold a catch when Gill was on 11.

The reprieve turned out to be a gift as he made the most of the second chance to score another ODI century. Once again, he displayed his talent to make a big score after getting set at the crease.

Another Good ODI Performance for Gill in 2026

The century is the latest in a good series of performances by Gill in ODI cricket in 2026.

Prior to facing West Indies, Gill's scores in ODI this year read: 56, 56, 23, 84 not out, 154, 80 not out, 31 and 77. Gill has been in good ODI form with the bat lately, and this century has only added to his growing reputation as a reliable opener.

India Shocks West Indies by a Huge Margin in ODI

• Gill's century was part of a larger batting display by India, who chased down West Indies' total of 295/7.
• West Indies made 295/7 in their first innings with Justin Greaves scoring a century and John Campbell scoring 62.
• India chased down the total with ease, winning by eight wickets in 41.4 overs. Gill scored 110 from 108 deliveries, hitting 13 fours and a six before he had to leave the crease due to cramps and fatigue.
• Virat Kohli also had a spectacular innings with an unbeaten 139 from 88 balls. Kohli's century was his 55th ODI century while his partnership with Gill helped India take control of the match.

Gill's Growing Star in ODI Cricket

At 10 ODI centuries, Gill now finds himself in the same company as MS Dhoni as far as ODI centuries are concerned. His landmark also serves as a reminder that he continues to be a reliable opener for India in ODI cricket.

With the 2027 ODI World Cup fast approaching, Gill should continue to play a big role in India's ODI innings, helping the team to post big totals.
