Shubman Gill struck a defiant century to guide the Indian team to a successful chase of 229 against Bangladesh in their opening clash of Champions Trophy 2025 on Friday. Captain Rohit Sharma laid the foundation with a brisk 41, while fast bowler Mohammed Shami answered his critics with a five-wicket haul. The Indian side delivered a clinical performance that saw them overhaul the modest target and break several records in the process. Here are some of the standout records set by Indian players during the match.
7 Records Indian Players Scripted As They Beat Bangladesh in Champions Trophy
Mohammed Shami's Record-Breaking Fiver
Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami claimed his 200th One Day International (ODI) wicket in record-breaking fashion during a Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh on Thursday, surpassing Australia's Mitchell Starc for the fewest balls bowled to reach the milestone. Shami achieved this feat in 5210 balls while Starc needed 5240 balls. The Indian pacer also became the quickest from his country to reach the landmark in terms of matches played, bettering former selector Ajit Agarkar's mark of 133 ODIs by a significant margin. Shami's 104 matches place him level with Pakistan spin legend Saqlain Mushtaq as the joint second-fastest globally, with Starc remaining the fastest at 102 ODIs.
Rohit Sharma Climbs Mount 11k
India captain Rohit Sharma became the second fastest batsman to reach 11,000 runs in One-day Internationals, during the Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh on Thursday. Sharma achieved the milestone in 261 innings, while Kohli reached it in just 222. Sharma joined an elite group as the fourth Indian and 10th overall batsman to hit the 11,000-run mark in the 50-over format. Among Indian players, only Sachin Tendulkar (18,426 runs), Kohli (13,963 runs), and Sourav Ganguly (11,221 runs) have amassed more runs than Sharma in ODIs.
Virat Kohli Becomes the Most Successful Catcher
Virat Kohli equalled Mohammad Azharuddin's record as India's most successful catcher in one-day international (ODI) cricket during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 opener against Bangladesh in Dubai on Thursday. Kohli achieved the feat by taking two catches—first dismissing Najmul Hossain Shanto at cover point and then removing Jaker Ali at long-on—matching the former India captain's tally. In international cricket, Kohli and Azharuddin trail only Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene (218 catches) and Australia's Ricky Ponting (160).
Gill Fastest To Reach 8 Centuries in ODI
India's vice-captain Shubman Gill maintained his impressive form, scoring his eighth one-day international (ODI) century—and his first in the Champions Trophy—during a six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in Dubai on Thursday. Gill, fresh off a century and two fifties in a recent series against England, reached the milestone in 125 balls, hitting nine boundaries and two sixes. It took him 51 innings to notch his eighth ODI hundred, reaching the milestone in the fewest matches.
India Lose 11 Consecutive Tosses
India etched an unwanted record before the first ball was even bowled in their match against Bangladesh, joining the Netherlands with the most consecutive toss losses (11) in one-day internationals. The streak began at the 2023 ODI World Cup final. India's run of misfortune continued under KL Rahul's captaincy, with the team losing all tosses in a three-match ODI series against South Africa. Rohit Sharma fared no better, failing to win a single toss in India's three ODIs against Sri Lanka in 2024, a trend that persisted through the recent England series, where India also lost every toss.
Mohammed Shami's Dream Run in ICC
Mohammed Shami surpassed Zaheer Khan to become India's leading wicket-taker in ICC white-ball tournaments, claiming his 74th wicket in 33 matches. Shami's haul includes 55 wickets in 18 ODI World Cup appearances, 14 in 14 T20 World Cup games, and five in a single Champions Trophy outing to date.
Kuldeep Yadav's First No-Ball in ODIs
Kuldeep Yadav finally overstepped, for the first time in his ODI career that is now 109 matches long. Kuldeep's first front-foot no-ball came in his first over itself.
