Delhi: India has created history by winning the T20 International Series for the first time on the land of England. In this historic victory, all -rounder Deepti Sharma set a new record by performing brilliantly. His strong bowling and useful batting played an important role in winning India.
On the other hand, the performance of the Indian team in Test cricket has also been very impressive. The five-match Test series between India and England is currently at 1-1. The third Test match of the series is to be played today, ie from July 10, in Lord’s.
In this match, everyone’s eyes will be on Indian captain Shubman Gill, who is in tremendous form. Gill has scored 585 runs in this series so far and if his bat continues like this, then he can make many records in his name.
Shubman Gill had scored 147 runs in the first innings of the first Test, while in the second innings only 8 runs could be scored. After this, he made a brilliant comeback in the second Test match, playing 269 runs in the first innings and 161 runs in the second innings. In this way, his total runs in two matches have been 585.
Three Tests are yet to be played, ie at least 6 innings can be found. Gill has a chance to become the captain to score the most runs in a Test series, leaving behind Don Bradman, Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli.
If we talk about the players who have scored the most runs as captain in a Test series, then Don Bradman at the top of this list, who scored 810 runs in Ashes in 1936. He is followed by the names of Graham Gooch (752 runs), Sunil Gavaskar (732 runs), and Virat Kohli (655 runs). Gill is moving fast towards this list with 585 runs.
The record of scoring the most runs in a series in Test history is also in the name of Don Bradman, who scored 974 runs in the 1930 Ashes series. This is followed by Walter Hammond (905 runs), Mark Taylor (839 runs), and Sunil Gavaskar (774 runs). Among the Indian batsmen, Yashasvi Jaiswal (712 runs) and Virat Kohli (692 runs) have also won this list in recent years.
In such a situation, now Gill has a golden opportunity to create history. If he is able to do this, then it will not only be one of the biggest achievements of his career, but will also be a proud moment for Indian cricket.
