Shubman Gill has successfully equaled the impressive record of MS Dhoni, achieving seven Player of the Series awards in ODIs. This remarkable feat was accomplished following India's recent series victory against the West Indies, where Gill scored 110 runs and an incredible unbeaten 233 in the first two matches.

Shubman Gill has achieved a significant milestone in his cricket career by equalling the tally of seven Player of the Series awards, previously held by MS Dhoni. This comes after India's three-match series against the West Indies, which India won 2-1 despite losing the final game. Gill's consistent performances, particularly in the second ODI where he scored a stunning unbeaten 233, have been instrumental in securing this achievement.
His seven awards, all earned since 2022, make him the most consistent performer among Indian players in ODI cricket. Currently, Gill matches Yuvraj Singh and Sourav Ganguly in this regard. Virat Kohli leads the list with 11 such awards, while Sachin Tendulkar remains at the top with 15. The series against the West Indies, however, was not a clean sweep for India.
Shai Hope's unbeaten 162 secured a record chase for the visitors, ending with 352 for five, their highest successful ODI chase. Despite India posting 351 for seven, which included impressive contributions from KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma, Hope's masterclass ensured a consolation victory for the West Indies.
