Shubman Gill started the 5-Test series against England well, scoring over 585 runs in the first two games. With three games left, he has many chances to make history if he continues to play like he did in Leeds and Birmingham. As Gill and Team India prepare for Lord’s, he can break records held by Sir Donald Bradman.
Most Runs In A Test Series As Captain: Shubman Gill has a chance to beat Sir Don Bradman’s record for most runs in a Test series as captain. Bradman scored 810 runs in a 5-Test series 88 years ago in the 1936-37 Ashes. Gill needs 225 runs in his next 6 innings to surpass Bradman
Most Runs In A Single Test Series: Sir Donald Bradman also holds this record, with 974 runs in 5 Tests in the 1930 Ashes. Gill needs 390 runs in the next 6 innings to break this record.
Fastest 1000 Runs As Test Captain: The Australian legend scored the fastest 1000 runs in Test history in 11 innings. Gill has 585 runs in 4 innings. If he continues to score at this rate, he can beat Bradman’s record.
Most Centuries In A Single Test Series: Sir Don Bradman has the most centuries in a Test series as a captain, but West Indies batsman Clyde Walcott has the most overall. Walcott scored 5 centuries in a 1955 home Test series against Australia. Gill needs one more century to equal Bradman’s record as captain and two to equal Walcott’s total.
