Shubman Gill Eyes On Breaking Don Bradmans 88-Year-Old Test Record In The Ongoing Test Series Against England
Don Bradman's Record
Now, in 2025, Shubman Gill has brought that record back into the conversation. The young Indian skipper has amassed 585 runs in just two Tests of the ongoing five-match series, putting him within striking distance of Bradman's long-standing feat. With three more matches to go, the stage is set for Gill to potentially surpass the Australian legend if he maintains his scintillating form.
Virat Kohli's Record
In doing so, Gill would not only break Bradman's record but also inch closer to surpassing other milestones, including one held by Virat Kohli, who scored 655 runs in a single Test series as captain (vs England in 2016).
Beyond the numbers, Gill's performances have been instrumental in India's push for a historic series win, and his leadership has drawn widespread praise. The cricketing world now watches closely, not just to witness a record fall, but perhaps the emergence of a new era in Indian Test cricket.
What's Next?
Shubman Gill's Test captaincy debut couldn't have started better, as he shattered the Edgbaston jinx and set a new record for the most runs by an Indian captain in a Test match. With his bat in red-hot form and a commanding presence on the field, all eyes are now on how Team India will close out the series under his leadership.
