In the first innings of the third Test, even though Shubman Gill was dismissed for only 16 runs, this small innings made him record in the pages of history. He broke Virat Kohli’s record and became the highest run -scorer in the Test series on England’s land.
Virat and Azhar’s record left behind
Kohli scored 593 runs in England in 2018, while Azharuddin scored 426 runs in 1990. Gill had scored 585 runs in earlier matches, and overtook Virat as soon as he scored 9 runs in this Test.
Third Test captain to complete 600 runs
Shubman Gill has become the third player in the world to cross the 600 -run mark as a captain during the Test series in England. Prior to him, West Indies Gary Sobers and South Africa’s Gram Smith did this.
Now turn to leave Rahul Dravid behind
As a batsman, Gill is now just 1 run behind Rahul Dravid, who scored 602 runs in 2002. Gill is now eyeing this record, which he can easily break in the second innings of the Test.
