Shubman Gill led from the front with the bat in the initial two Test matches of his captaincy career. As a result, despite just 22 runs in two innings of the Lord's Test, Shubman Gill managed to become the batter with the most runs for India in a Test series in England.
He now has 607 runs in just six innings and has gone past Rahul Dravid, who scored 602 runs during India's tour of England in 2002. Gill has scored his runs at a stunning average of 101.17 and has hit three centuries as well.
Edgbaston, Headingley Heroics Help Gill Beat Indian Legends
The first hundred came in his debut innings as a captain at Headingley, while at Edgbaston, he scored a total of 430 runs. It included a marathon knock of 269 in the first innings, and his batting performance ensured that India registered their first-ever win at Edgbaston.
Those heroics have now helped him go over some of the finest batters in Indian history. Virat Kohli is third in the list of most runs by an Indian batter in a Test series against England. He scored 593 runs during the 2018 Test series in 10 innings, while Sunil Gavaskar is below him with 542 runs during the 1979 series.
