Following scores of 87 and 60 in the first two matches of the series, Gill also rose to the second spot in the latest ICC ODI batting rankings on Wednesday, eclipsing India captain Rohit Sharma.
Gill enjoys a favourable record batting in Ahmedabad where he smashed his highest T20I score with an unbeaten 126 against New Zealand in February 2023. In his next outing at the venue in March that year, Gill smashed his maiden Test century at the venue against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, scoring 128 off 251 balls.
The Gujarat Titans captain averages nearly 80 at the ground across nine innings with Ahmedabad being the second venue where he has aggregated at least 400 runs after the Harare Stadium in Zimbabwe.
