IND vs. Eng Test Series: Many Don Bradman at Shubman Gill on the tail of breaking records; Gavaskar, also set eyes on Kohli milestone. Cricket news
Indian cricket captain Shubman Gill is already making history in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England. He has scored 585 runs in only two tests, including a record-breaking performance in Edgbaston with a score of 269 and 161. Now, he is eyeing several world records set by the legendary don Bradman almost a century ago.Gill’s outstanding performance in Edgbaston helped India in a five -match series. His remarkable innings broke several records, including Virat Kohli’s highest score as an Indian captain and Sunil Gavaskar’s record for the most runs by Indian in a Test match. He also became the first Asian captain to score a dual century in Army countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia). Don Bradman Records He can shatter Shubman GillWith the remaining three tests, Gill needed just 225 runs to break Bradman’s record of 810 runs, which was set during the ashes of 1936–37, as the captain in a series.He is within the reach of all time records of 974 runs in the same series of Bradman, requiring 390 more runs to achieve this achievement.He can become the fastest to reach 1000 Test runs as captain, beating Bradman’s record in 11 innings required 415 runs in his next six innings by defeating Bradman’s record.Gill’s impressive streak saw him a hit in three centuries in the first two Tests, with veteran West Indies veteran behind Clide Walkot, who scored five centuries in a series against Australia in 1955. While Walkot remains the only player to reach this achievement, Gill has the ability to match or even pursue it. Meanwhile, Bradman’s best as a captain was four centuries in a series, completing against India in 1947. Gill is shy in two centuries than matching that record.Expressing optimism about Gill’s opportunities, former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar said, “I hope he does so. I don’t know if he will do it, but I am sure he has an opportunity. He is in a luxurious form, and he should do it, that’s what I think.”Other records that can do Gill overhaulThe young captain is also closing in many Indian records.
- He needs 148 runs by an Indian captain (732 runs) to cross Gavaskar’s record of the most runs in a series.
- Gill scored 712 runs from his India’s partner Yashsvi Jaiswal, who in any series against England, the most runs by an Indian, 127 runs.
- He is just 18 runs away from Rahul Dravid’s 602 runs – most by an Indian batsman in a test series in England.
- Gill already has several milestones with Kohli. With 91 runs, he will cross the record of a former 655 -run test player as an Indian captain against England.
Gill makes Gill’s achievement even more impressive that he is starting Bradman in the 1930 series, scoring 585 runs in the first two tests compared to Bradman’s 394. This remarkable suggests that he can continue his record-breaking spree in the remaining three matches.
