In 2025, Gill has scored 983 runs in 16 innings of nine Test matches, and in ODIs, he amassed a total of 490 runs in 11 matches. Gill’s numbers in T20Is are, however, not that great in 2025. In 15 matches he has only managed to score 291 runs and failed to reach the 50-run mark even once.

Abhishek Sharma is India’s highest run-getter in T20Is in 2025. The left-handed batter from Punjab has scored 825 runs in 20 20-over matches played so far this year.

Gill will play as many as two more international matches in 2025, and he has a great chance to finish as the highest run getter in 2025. Gill’s closest competitor is Hope. Hope will also play one international match for the West Indies in 2025.
