Shubman Gill Records: Shubman Gill, young captain of Team India, has the best of his life on England tour Test series Has played He gave a befitting reply to his critics, scoring four centuries and a double century in four Tests. The struggling innings of the Manchester Test helped India save the match and brought Gill very close to a historic record.
England’s current tour for Indian captain Shubman Gill is proving to be a career-defying. The 25 -year -old batsman not only took charge of the captaincy, but also made a record in England with a record with the bat. Gill helped India to save the match after a poor start of 0/2 and a big deficit of 311 runs by playing a militant innings of 103 runs (238 balls, 10 fours) in Manchester’s Old Trafford Test.
With this century, Gill equaled the 59 -year -old record of West Indies great all -rounder Gary Sobers. Sobers scored 722 runs in the five -Test series against England (SENA Desh) in 1966 as a foreign captain. Gill has also scored 722 runs in eight innings in four Tests so far and now we will break this record as soon as you score 1 run.

Gill has scored four centuries and a double century in this tour to bring the average of his career to 40. It is also special that before coming to England, all the five Test centuries were on the soil of India, but now he has proved his ability on foreign pitches.
Gill still has another Test match, and if he remains in the form, he can not only break the record of Sobers but can also move towards the records of veterans like Don Bradman as soon as he scored a total of 89 runs, who scored 810 against England in 1936–37.
