Indian captain Shubman Gill shattered Sunil Gavaskar’s 46-year-old record for most runs by an Indian skipper in a Test series. During the fifth Test against England at The Oval, Gill reached 737* runs, surpassing Gavaskar’s 732-run mark from the 1978–79 West Indies series. His consistent form includes four centuries, with a top score of 269. Despite India trailing 2–1 in the series, Gill’s performance has been a standout, marking a historic moment in Indian cricket. He now ranks third globally for most runs in a Test series by a captain, behind Don Bradman and Graham Gooch. Gill’s achievement signals a new era of leadership and batting dominance for Team India.
