Smriti Mandhana-Shubman Gill: Now clouds of danger are looming over the record of Shubman Gill, who was not selected in Team India for the T20 World Cup. This is the record made by Gill in international cricket in the year 2025. Shubman Gill's record is also under threat from Smriti Mandhana, who is very close to breaking his record and who you can say has a good chance.

Smriti Mandhana will play the last match of the year

The Indian men's cricket team played all its international matches in the year 2025. Now he will be seen playing the match in January 2026. But, the Indian women's team is going to play its last international match on 30th December. This match will be the last T20 of the ongoing series against Sri Lanka. The Indian women's team has already won this series with an unassailable lead of 4-0. In such a situation, the thing to be seen in the last match will be whether Smriti Mandhana can overcome the record of Shubman Gill or not.

Which record did Shubman Gill make in the year 2025?

Now the question is, what is the record made by Shubman Gill in the year 2025, which Smriti Mandhana is eyeing to break. So it is related to the highest international runs scored in the year 2025. Shubman Gill has scored the most international runs in the year 2025 in both men's and women's categories. Smriti Mandhana has a golden opportunity to break this in her last international match of this year.

How many runs did Shubman Gill score in the year 2025?

Shubman Gill has scored 1764 runs at an average of 49 in 35 international matches played in the year 2025, which includes 7 centuries and 3 half-centuries. This figure of runs is currently the highest for any batsman in international cricket. But, if Smriti Mandhana's form has remained intact in the T20 series against Sri Lanka, if it is seen in the last T20 match as well, then Gill's record can be certain to be broken.

How can Smriti Mandhana break Gill's record?

Smriti Mandhana is currently 62 runs away from breaking Shubman Gill's record. He has scored 1703 runs in 32 international matches played so far in the year 2025. Now, if she plays another big innings in the last T20 International against Sri Lanka, then there is no doubt that Smriti Mandhana will become the highest international run scorer in the year 2025 in both men's and women's categories, breaking Gill's record. However, with 1703 runs, she has already become the highest run scorer among women cricketers this year.
