Shubman Gill's Captaincy Record Across All Formats: Tests, ODIs, T20Is, IPL

Shubman Gill has quickly established himself as a prominent leader in Indian cricket. Since taking on the Test captaincy in 2025, he has led India through some remarkable moments, including leveling the series during the England tour and winning Test series against West Indies, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka.

In the recent two-match Test series against Sri Lanka in Galle, India's 165-run victory in the first Test boosted Gill's record to six wins from ten Tests as captain. The second Test ended in a draw after Sri Lanka batted resiliently on the final day, slightly lowering his win percentage.
