Gill smashed hundred to guide India victory against Bangladesh in CT 2025

Shubman Gill scored hundred against Bangladesh in ICC Champions Trophy 2025

In-form Shubman Gill made an unbeaten 101 to anchor India’s chase in a six-wicket win over Bangladesh as the two teams began their Champions Trophy campaign on Thursday in Dubai.

Needing a tricky 229 for victory on a seemingly tough pitch, India rode on Gill’s second successive ODI ton to achieve their target with 21 balls to spare.

“Definitely one of my most satisfying innings that I have played and my first century in ICC events,” Gill said after being named man of the match. “Very happy with the way I performed.”

Skipper Rohit Sharma praised his opening partner, saying, “Gill, we know the class that he has, Shouldn’t surprise anyone. It was good to see him bat till the end.”

Title favourites India are playing their matches in the 50-over tournament at the Dubai International Stadium after refusing to tour host nation Pakistan over political tensions.

Pace spearhead Mohammed Shami set up victory with figures of 5-53, helping reduce Bangladesh to 35-5 in his opening spell before they recovered to manage 228 all out after electing to bat first.

Towhid Hridoy, who made 100 — his first ODI ton — and Jaker Ali (68) put on 154 runs for the sixth wicket to lift the total, albeit with some assistance from sloppy Indian fielding including two dropped catches.

In reply, India started strongly as Rohit and Gill got going with regular boundaries. Rohit became just the 10th batsman — and fourth from India — to surpass 11,000 ODI runs.

The India captain made 41 before he was dismissed by fast bowler Taskin Ahmed and Virat Kohli walked in to loud cheers from the crowd at a largely empty stadium.

Kohli took 10 balls to get his first run and made 22 before mis-timing a late cut to backward point off leg-spinner Rishad Hossain.

India lost two more wickets after Rishad and Mustafizur Rahman removed Axar Patel and Shreyas Iyer to put India in trouble at 144-4.

But vice-captain Gill, who was player of the series with 259 runs in India’s 3-0 ODI sweep of England last week, kept calm as he and KL Rahul took the team home in an unbeaten 87-run stand.

Rahul finished 41 not out but was dropped early in his innings by Jaker at deep mid-wicket and India never faltered after that with Gill reaching his eighth ODI century.

‘Cost us the game’

“Losing five wickets in the powerplay cost us the game,” Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto said.

“Hridoy and Jaker batted brilliantly but we still made mistakes on the field. Dropped catches and a few run-outs missed, the result could have been different.”

Shami was the bowling star with his sixth five-wicket haul in 104 ODIs, stepping up in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, who was ruled out of the tournament due to a back injury.

Shami, who returned to international cricket from injury after 14 months in the England series, overtook former pacer Zaheer Khan to become India’s leading bowler in ICC ODI tournaments with 60 wickets.

Shami struck in the first over to get left-handed Soumya Sarkar caught behind for a five-ball duck.

Left-arm spinner Axar struck twice in two balls to send Tanzid Hasan (25) and Mushfiqur Rahim, for a duck, trudging back to the pavilion.

It could have been six down had Rohit not dropped a catch at first slip, denying Axar a hat-trick and handing Jaker a reprieve on nought.

Jaker, who survived another chance on 24 when wicketkeeper Rahul missed a stumping, and Towhid, dropped on 23 by Hardik Pandya at mid-off, combined to thwart the Indian charge.

Jaker fell to Shami but Towhid kept up the fight until his 118-ball knock ended with six fours and two sixes.

India next play arch-rivals Pakistan in a Sunday blockbuster.
