Shubman Gill is one of Indian cricket’s brightest young batters and a leader for both India and Gujarat Titans. Fans want to know how he’s performing, what’s changing in the squad, and when he plays next. This guide covers his latest news, recent scores across formats, team updates, and upcoming matches. 

Shubman Gill latest updates and breaking news

Gill has had a busy few months; he captained India in England and Sri Lanka, led Gujarat Titans to the IPL 2026 final, and then produced a record-breaking double century against West Indies. With the New Zealand tour only weeks away, he is back in the headlines as captain. Below is where things stand, from news and career highlights to his fitness. 

#1. Latest news on Shubman Gill

The biggest headline is the New Zealand tour. On 16 October, the BCCI announced India’s squads for five ODIs and two Tests in November. He stays in charge of the Test side, where KL Rahul is vice-captain. 

The ODI squad also has a familiar look; Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are both included. Gill also played domestic cricket this month. Reports say he was dismissed for just 1 run in Punjab’s Ranji Trophy match against Chhattisgarh on 18 October 2026. That is a small blip, but it will keep fans watching his red-ball form before the Tests in Wellington.

#2. Recent career highlights and achievements

The standout moment came on 30 September 2026 in Guwahati. Gill made 223 not out off 133 balls as India chased down 406 against West Indies and took an ODI series lead. The innings set several records:

• He hit 26 fours and 8 sixes.
• It is the highest individual score in a successful ODI run chase.
• It is also the highest ODI score by an Indian captain, ahead of Virender Sehwag’s 219.
• He and Rohit Sharma put on a 255-run opening stand.

The IPL gave him another big night. In Qualifier 2, his 104 off 53 balls and a record 167-run opening stand with Sai Sudharsan took Gujarat Titans to their highest successful IPL chase, reinforcing his status among the best IPL players. The season ended in heartbreak, though, as RCB beat Gujarat by five wickets in the Ahmedabad final. Gill’s leadership still earned praise, and he posted a gracious message for the winners after the match.

#3. Latest injury and fitness updates

There is no fresh injury concern right now. Gill was named in both the ODI and Test squad for New Zealand, and nothing in the squad announcement flags a problem for him. His fitness has been tested a few times this year, so here is the recent record:

• July 2026: he retired hurt on 80 against England in Birmingham. He later said it was cramps, not a serious injury.
• August 2026: a finger problem kept him out of India’s warm-up game before the Sri Lanka Tests. The medical team cleared him by the final day, and he batted in the second innings.
• April 2026: a neck spasm forced him to miss a Gujarat Titans game, with Rashid Khan standing in as captain. It was a short break. 

The neck is worth remembering because a neck injury forced him out of the Kolkata Test against South Africa in November 2025.

Shubman Gill latest score and recent performances

Gill plays very differently across formats, so his form is easier to read on format at a time. In Tests, he is a captain scoring heavily; in ODIs, he is one of the most prolific chasers in the world, and in T20Is he has found it harder to hold a place. In the IPL, he is a reliable run-scorer at the top of the order. Below is his latest in each format, kept separate on purpose, along with his most recent series. 

#1. Shubman Gill’s Test record and series form

Tests are where Gill has grown the most since taking over as captain. He had 3,043 Test runs at an average of 43.47. He crossed the 3,000-run mark in Colombo, in his 43rd Test, and became the fourth-youngest Indian to do so. He had 11 centuries, with a best of 269. His captaincy numbers are even better:

• England 2025: he scored 754 runs at 75.40 with four hundreds in his debut series as captain. His 269 at Edgbaston is the highest score by an Indian captain in Test history.
• West Indies 2025: he made 129 not out in Delhi, his fifth Test hundred of the year.
• Afghanistan, June 2026: India won the one-off Test 1-0, and Gill was the top scorer on his side with 126.
• Sri Lanka, August 2026: India won the series 1-0. In the drawn Colombo Test, Gill made 50 off 108 balls.
• As captain overall, he has 1,111 runs at an average of 74.06, including six centuries.

#2. Shubman Gill’s form in One Day Internationals

ODIs are his strongest format on paper. He has 3,713 ODI runs at an average of 64.01, and he is in great form with the captain’s armband.

• Afghanistan, June 2026: India swept the three-match series 3-0, and Gill was Player of the Series with 238 runs.
• England, July 2026: he made 8 off 75 balls in the first ODI before retiring hurt. India won that match by six wickets.
• West Indies, September-October 2026: he hit 110 in the first ODI, a chase of 299. Then came his 223 not out in Guwahati, the fastest double century in ODI history. He finished as the series’ leading run-scorer with 334 runs.

#3. Shubman Gill’s T20I batting record

T20Is are the one format where Gill has struggled to hold a place. He has 869 T20I runs at an average of 28.03. His strike rate is 138.06, and he has one hundred and an unbeaten 126.

The numbers dipped after his return to the side in the 2025 Asia Cup. He made 291 runs at a strike rate of 137.26 in 15 innings, without a single half-century. In December 2025, the selectors left him out of the T20 World Cup squad. They said they wanted a wicketkeeper at the top of the order. In the T20I numbers I found, there is no recall since then.

#4. Shubman Gill in the IPL and other franchise leagues

The IPL is where Gill plays his franchise cricket, and it is where he has been most consistent. He has 4,598 IPL runs, including five centuries. According to the latest sports news, his 2026 season was strong:

• He had 722 runs at a strike rate of 163.71 before the final, with six fifties and a hundred. He added 10 more in the final.
• He crossed 600 runs for the second season in a row, which only two other captains had done before.
• Rajasthan’s Vaibhav Sooryavanshi won the Orange Cap. Gujarat lost the final to RCB.
• He also passed 6,000 career T20 runs during the season.

Shubman Gill’s team, captaincy, and selection updates

Gill leads India in both Tests and ODIs. He became Test captain in May 2025 after Rohit Sharma retired from the format. He replaced Rohit as ODI captain in October 2025. In the IPL, he captains Gujarat Titans. T20Is are the exception, since he was left out of India’s T20 World Cup squad in December 2025.

For the New Zealand tour, the BCCI names its squads on 16 October 2026.

• ODIs: Gill captains the first three matches, and Shreyas Iyer leads the last two. Gill and KL Rahul are rested for those last two.
• Tests: Gill is captain with KL Rahul as vice-captain. The first Test starts on 19 November in Wellington.

Shubman Gill’s upcoming matches and schedule

Gill’s next assignment is India’s tour of New Zealand. The BCCI has confirmed the ODI and Test fixtures, with the ODIs starting on 4 November and the Tests on 19 November. Fans can follow the action and explore cricket betting markets on W88 India. All start times are in IST.

Gill captains India in the first three ODIs and both Tests of the New Zealand tour. He will not play the fourth and fifth ODIs, which Shreyas Iyer will lead. The five T20Is run from 22 October to 1 November, and the full tour ends on 1 December. Iyer captains the T20I side, and Gill’s next matches are the ODIs and Tests that follow.

Conclusion 

Shubman Gill heads into the New Zealand tour as India’s Test and ODI captain, in strong form after his record 223 not out. These Shubman Gill latest updates show he is at his best in ODIs and Tests, while T20Is remain the format where he is yet to win back his place. The ODIs begin on 4 November, followed by the Tests from 19 November. Bookmark this page for the latest scores, fitness news, and squad changes.
