Shubman Gill's Captaincy Record Across Tests, ODIs, T20Is, and IPL

Shubman Gill’s Leadership Journey in Cricket

Shubman Gill has quickly risen as a leading figure in Indian cricket. Since taking over as Test captain in 2025, he has delivered some notable victories, including a series-leveling performance in England and wins against the West Indies, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka.

His leadership shone during India’s 165-run win in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, marking his sixth victory in 10 Test matches as captain. Yet, the second Test ended in a draw, preventing a whitewash and slightly lowering his winning percentage.

At 26 years old, Gill has captained India in all formats: Tests, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and T20 Internationals (T20Is), as well as leading the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

T20 International Captaincy

Gill debuted as India's T20I captain in 2024 during the series against Zimbabwe. He led the team in five matches, securing four wins and suffering just one loss, achieving an 80% win rate.

  • Matches Captained: 5
  • Wins: 4
  • Losses: 1
  • No Result/Tied: 0
  • Win Percentage: 80.00%

IPL Captaincy Record

Since taking over as captain of the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024, Gill has overseen two seasons. In 43 matches, his team won 24 times but lost 17, with no ties or no-results recorded. His win percentage stands at just under 56%. The Gujarat Titans made it to the playoffs in both 2025 and 2026 under his leadership.

  • Matches Captained: 43
  • Wins: 24
  • Losses: 17
  • No Result/Tied: 0
  • Win Percentage: 55.81%

One Day International (ODI) Captaincy

Gill began his ODI captaincy in October 2025 against Australia. The start was tough, with India losing the series 2-1. After a brief break due to injury, he returned to lead India in home series against New Zealand and Afghanistan. India lost narrowly to New Zealand but bounced back by winning the series against Afghanistan. The July 2026 ODI series against England saw India win the opening match but lose the series 2-1 overall.

  • Matches Captained: 12
  • Wins: 7
  • Losses: 5
  • No Result/Tied: 0
  • Win Percentage: 58.3%

Test Captaincy Record

Following the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from Test cricket, Gill was named Test captain before the 2025 England tour. India drew that five-match series 2-2. He then led India to their first Test series win under his captaincy against the West Indies at home, followed by an away series win in Afghanistan.

The recent series against Sri Lanka improved his record, with a commanding victory in Galle where India won by 165 runs. That marked his sixth win in 10 Tests as captain, pushing his win rate to 60%. The next match in Colombo ended in a draw, slightly lowering his overall percentage.

  • Matches Captained: 11
  • Wins: 6
  • Losses: 3
  • No Result/Tied: 2
  • Win Percentage: 54.55%
