Shubman Gill's Record-Breaking 2025 International Run Tally Under Threat

IPL star and India men’s captain Shubman Gill is poised to finish 2025 as the highest international run-scorer across both men's and women's cricket, capping off a phenomenal year of consistency. Gill accumulated a massive 1,764 runs across 42 innings in 35 matches throughout the calendar year, showcasing his dominance in all three formats for India. This tally currently places him at the top of the global run-scoring charts.

However, Gill's remarkable achievement is facing a late challenge from India women's opener Smriti Mandhana. Mandhana, who recently crossed the 10,000 international run milestone, is now just 62 runs shy of surpassing Gill's total. She has accumulated 1,703 runs and has one final T20I innings against Sri Lanka remaining to claim the historic distinction.

Regardless of the outcome of Mandhana's final innings, Gill's output of 1,764 runs highlights a year of immense productivity and leadership transition for the 26-year-old. Having taken over the captaincy in Tests and ODIs, his consistent performance underscores his status as one of the world's premier batsmen heading into 2026.
