Shubman Gill Breaks World Record Of Scoring Most Runs In A Test By Visiting Batter
Last Updated: Gill scored 430 runs (1st and 2nd innings combined) for India in the second Test of the ongoing five-match series between India and England at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Shubman Gill now holds the record of scoring the most runs in a Test match by a visiting batter. The 25-year-old right-handed batter from Punjab broke former Australian captain and star batter Mark Taylor's record of 326 runs. During the 1998 Australia-Pakistan Test in Peshawar, Taylor amassed a total of 426 runs. He remained unbeaten on 334 in the first innings and scored 92 in the second. Gill, on the other hand, scored 269 runs in the first innings of the Edgbaston Test against England and 161 runs in the second. Only Graham Gooch of England has scored more runs in a Test match than Gill. During the 1990 Lord's Test played between India and England, Gooch amassed a total of 456 runs against the Mohammad Azharuddin-led side. In that match, Gooch scored 333 runs in the first innings and 123 in the second. The 25-year-old right-handed batter from Punjab is the fifth batter in the world after England's Graham Gooch, Australia's Mark Taylor, Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara, and the West Indies' Brian Lara to score 400 runs in a Test match.

He added 110 runs for the fourth wicket with Rishabh Pant (65) and 175 runs for the fifth wicket with Ravindra Jadeja, who has also crossed the fifty-run mark.

Shubman Gill Becomes 1st Indian Cricketer To Score 400 Runs In A Test Match
Last Updated: Gill becomes the first Indian and overall fifth batter in the world, after Graham Gooch, Mark Taylor, Kumar Sangakkara, and Brian Lara, to score 400 runs in a Test match. Shubman Gill is in the form of his life these days, and he is making the most of it. After scoring 147 runs against England in the first innings of the Leeds Test (June 20-24) and 269 runs in the first Test of the Edgbaston Test, Gill scored his third century in four innings as India Test captain on Saturday (July 5). After coming out to bat at No. 4 for India in the morning session of the fourth day's play of the second Test in Birmingham, Gill crossed the 100-run mark by taking a single on the third ball of the 67th over of India's innings bowled by Shoaib Bashir. After equalling Virat Kohli's world record of scoring three centuries in the first two Tests as captain, Gill became the first Indian batter to score 400 runs in one Test match. He achieved the feat by reaching the 131-run mark in the second innings of the 2nd Test (smacked Joe Root for a six on the first ball of 78th over when he was batting on 130). The 25-year-old right-handed batter from Punjab is the fifth batter in the world after England's Graham Gooch, Australia's Mark Taylor, Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara, and the West Indies' Brian Lara to score 400 runs in a Test match. If Gill manages to score at least 188 runs in the second innings, then he will break Graham Gooch's record of scoring the most runs in a Test match. And if India's Test captain manages to score a double century in the second innings as well, then he will become the first cricketer in the world to score two double centuries in one Test match. The overall record of scoring the most runs in a Test match away from home is in the name of former Australian batter Mark Taylor. During the Australia-Pakistan Test match in Peshawar in 1998, Taylor amassed a total of 426 (334 and 92) runs. First Published:
