Indian Test team captain Shubman Gill has performed amazing in the Test series against England and batting strongly and scored the most runs in the first 3 matches of this series. Shubman has so far scored 607 runs in three matches in this Test series at an average of 101.17. He has scored a double century and two centuries. Now Gill has to score only 167 runs to become the number one batsman. If Gill takes so much runs in the remaining matches of the England Test series, then he will leave Sunil Gavaskar and Yashasvi Jaiswal behind.
Gill ready to create history
So far, Sunil Gavaskar has scored the most runs among the Indian batsmen in a Test series. He scored 774 runs in a Test series against West Indies in 1971. The second place in this list is Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 712 runs against England in 2024. Now if Gill scored 106 runs, then he will leave Yashasvi behind and will come in another place. If the Indian Test captain scored 168 runs, including both the remaining matches, then he will become the highest run -scorer in a Test series from Team India.
At this time, the form in which Gill is in the Manchester Test would like to break this record. Not only this, Gill would also like to break the record of Mohammad Yusuf which he made 19 years ago. Mohammad Yusuf is the highest run -scorer in a Test series in England. He scored an average of 90.14 an average of 631 runs in 4 matches in 2006. If Gill takes 25 runs in the Manchester Test, he will break Mohammad Yusuf’s record and will become the most run -scorer in England.
Winning Manchester is necessary for India
England won the first Test match while India won the second match. Host England won the third Test match played at Lord’s. The fourth Test between these two teams is now starting from July 23 in Manchester. It is very important for Team India to win this match as England are ahead 2–1 in the 5 match Test series. If Team India is not able to win the Manchester Test, then they will lose the series.
