IND vs ENG / Team India's captain is on the verge of creating history, will break a 19-year-old record

IND vs ENG: Indian cricket team captain Shubman Gill is in great form in the ongoing Test series against England. He has proved his batting prowess by scoring 607 runs in six innings of three matches. Now, he has a golden opportunity to create history in the fourth Test match to be held in Manchester. Gill can not only break the record of Asian batsmen but can also become the highest run-scorer in a Test series between India and England.

25 runs away from breaking Mohammad Yusuf's record

The record for most runs in a bilateral Test series against England is currently held by Pakistan's Mohammad Yusuf. He scored 631 runs against England in 2006. Shubman Gill, who has scored one double century (269 runs) and two centuries so far in this series, needs only 25 more runs to break Yusuf's 19-year-old record. If Gill scores this run in the Manchester Test, he will become the highest run-scorer in a Test series against England in Asian cricket.

Chance to surpass Graham Gooch and Yashasvi Jaiswal

Gill has the opportunity to make two more big records in his name in the Manchester Test. If he scores 146 runs, he will become the highest run-scorer in the India-England Test series. This record is currently held by former England legend Graham Gooch, who scored 752 runs in a series in 1990.

Apart from this, Gill also has a chance to become the Indian batsman to score the most runs in a Test series against England. This record is currently held by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 712 runs against England in 2024. Gill will have to score 106 more runs to surpass Jaiswal.

Gill's excellent form

Shubman Gill has impressed with both his captaincy and batting in this series. His highest score has been 269 runs, which is a testament to his technique and patience. Gill's consistency and ability to play big innings have made him the most important player of this series. All eyes are on his performance in the Manchester Test, as this match is not only important for the series but is also setting the stage for personal achievements for Gill.

Will Gill be able to create history?

The Old Trafford ground in Manchester can witness a historic moment for Gill. Fans and cricket pundits are keeping an eye on how many records Gill makes in his name. Will he set a new record by surpassing legends like Yusuf, Gooch and Jaiswal? It will be really exciting to watch.
