Shubman Gill has made history in Old Trafford, who has become the first Asian batsman to score more than 700 runs in a single test series in England. His landmark came at 5 on the day of the fourth Test, during another gritty knock that outlined his growing height in international cricket. With this achievement, the 25 -year -old not only broke the new land for Asian batsmen, but also entered a prestigious club of Test captains who have scored 700 or more runs in a series. The list includes some of the biggest names in cricket history – Sir Donald Bradman (twice), Sir Garfield Sobers, Greg Chappell, Sunil Gavaskar, David Gover, Graham Gooch and Graeme Smith.
Gill’s frequent talent with bat on this tour has been one of some bright places for India. He scored runs in challenging circumstances in remarkable circumstances, and has often shown efforts to rescue the front. His three centuries in the series have come up with heavy pressure on his shoulders – a batsman and India’s newly appointed test captain.

Since rain is threatened to disrupt the last day’s game, Gill’s contribution can prove to be important in saving the test and keeping India in the series. From the promise to the 2025 Tour of England ages, Gill is taking shape in one.
