Shubman Gill has officially etched his name into Indian cricketing history. On Day 5 of the fourth Test match against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the stylish right-hander brought up a classy 103-run knock, pushing his overall series tally to a staggering 722 runs.
With this feat, Gill has become only the third Indian batter ever to cross the 700-run mark in a single Test series — joining the legendary Sunil Gavaskar and rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal in an exclusive club.
Gill’s standout moment in the series was undoubtedly his career-best 269 during the second Test in Birmingham — a marathon double century that set the tone for the remainder of the series. He added to that tally with two more centuries, consistently delivering impactful performances with the bat.
In fact, this remarkable run of form also made him the first Asian batter to cross 650 runs in a Test series on English soil — a milestone that speaks volumes about his temperament and adaptability in challenging overseas conditions.
