He batted well in almost every Test match of the series and put pressure on the England bowlers. Talking about Manchester Test, he made another great record during this match. Not only this, Shubman Gill, who achieved this feat, also became the first Indian batsman. Indian captain Gill became Asia’s first batsman to score more than 700 runs in a series in England.
Shubman Gill created history
Shubman Gill has scored more than 700 runs in a Test series in England. He became the first player in Asia to achieve this feat. Not only this, he is the eighth captain in the world to score more than 700 runs in a Test series. Earlier, these acts have been done by Sir Don Bradman (twice), Greg Chapel, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sunil Gavaskar, David Gawar, Graham Gooch and Grame Smith.
Not only this, Gill, Gavaskar and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored more than 700 runs in a Test series, are only the third Indian batsman. Gavaskar scored 774 runs in 1971 against the West Indies in 1971, while for the second time he scored 732 runs against West Indies in 1778-79 in India. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 712 runs in 2024 against England in 2024. Gill has also joined this list.
Gill has also scored a double century
Shubman Gill also scored a double century in this Test series. He played a strong innings of 269 runs in the Edgbaston Test, due to which India won the second Test. However, despite Gill’s performance, Team India lagged behind 1-2 in the five-match Test series. In the first innings of the fourth Test match, the Indian captain was dismissed for just 12 runs. He was expected to perform a strong performance in the second innings and Gill has not disappointed the fans.
