Shubman Gill makes history, smashes Sunil Gavaskar’s 47-year-old record as captain

Indian captain Shubman Gill has etched his name in history by breaking Sunil Gavaskar's 47-year-old record. He amassed 733 runs in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series against England, surpassing Gavaskar's tally of 732 runs set against the West Indies in 1978–79.
 

Gill has been in sublime form throughout the series. On the opening day of the fifth Test, he overtook Gavaskar’s long-standing record, further cementing his place among modern Test greats.
 

At just 25, Gill has scored four centuries in the series, joining an elite group of players with multiple hundreds on foreign soil. His outstanding performance is a proud moment for Indian cricket.
 

Gill’s batting brilliance on the tough English tour has stood out. His leadership has lifted the team’s morale after early setbacks, and with his efforts, India is now poised to level the series 2-2.
 

Gavaskar’s record of 732 runs was once considered unbreakable. Gill has not only surpassed it but also set a new benchmark for Indian Test captains, marking a significant milestone in Indian cricket.
 

Gill is now on the verge of challenging Don Bradman’s iconic record of 810 runs in a Test series. He needs just 78 more runs to surpass it, presenting a rare opportunity for an Indian batter on foreign soil.
 

If he scores another century, Gill will become the first Indian captain to notch five centuries in a single Test series. No Indian skipper has achieved this feat so far, and his form is already inspiring a new generation of cricketers.
