The Prince of Indian cricket and Gujarat Titans’ captain receives one of the highest honours in Indian cricket. The stylish right-hander is named the BCCI Cricketer of the Year at the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s annual gala in New Delhi on March 15.

For our fans, this recognition feels deeply personal. The elegant batter who leads with composure and class has now firmly established himself as the heartbeat of Indian cricket across formats.

 

A Monumental Year With The Bat

Gill’s numbers in 2025 were nothing short of extraordinary. The talismanic Indian captain amassed 1764 runs across formats, maintaining a remarkable average of 49, while notching up seven centuries and three fifties.

His dominance was most visible in the longest format of the game. Gill accumulated 983 Test runs, averaging over 70, reaffirming his status as one of the world’s finest modern-day batters.

The highlight of his red-ball campaign came during India’s challenging away series against England in 2025, where Gill stood tall against their world-class bowling attack. Across the hard-fought series, our Titan piled up 754 runs to play a pivotal role in ensuring the series ended in a draw.

Every innings carried a sense of calm authority. A trait Titans fans have grown accustomed to seeing in the TATA IPL as well.

Leading From The Front In ODIs

Shubman also delivered when it mattered most in the 50-over format. The Indian skipper accumulated 490 ODI runs in 2025, continuing his consistency as one of the most reliable top-order batters in world cricket.

His contributions proved vital during India’s triumphant ICC Champions Trophy campaign in 2025, where he accrued 188 runs and played several crucial innings to guide the Men in Blue to the coveted title.

Moments like these are why the fans feel immense pride watching our captain flourish on the global stage.

Titans’ Pride, India’s Present and Future 

For us, Shubman Gill’s rise is not just about the statistics, but it is about witnessing our captain grow into the leader of Indian cricket.

From his graceful cover drives to his unshakeable temperament under pressure, Gill represents the perfect blend of elegance and authority. Every run he scores for India feels like a victory shared by the Titans’ family.

As the BCCI honours him in New Delhi, one thing is clear — this is only the beginning for Shubman Gill.

 

For Gujarat Titans fans, seeing their captain conquer world cricket is a moment of immense pride and the journey ahead promises to be even more special.

The Prince has truly arrived and the throne of Indian cricket seems well within his grasp.
