Shubman Gill Sets ODI Record as India Defeat Afghanistan in Rain-Shortened Match
In the rain-shortened first ODI between India and Afghanistan at Dharamsala, India captain Shubman Gill became the fastest Indian and second-fastest overall to reach 3,000 ODI runs, achieving the milestone in his 62nd innings. Gill also took a remarkable one-handed slip catch during Afghanistan's innings, which was powered by Rahmanullah Gurbaz's 48-ball century. Debutants Harsh Dubey and Gurnoor Brar impressed with three wickets each. A communication mix-up led to Rohit Sharma's early dismissal while chasing 195 in 25 overs.
