27 Jul
Summary
- Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten 78 on Day 4 of the 4th Test against England
- Gill is the leading run-scorer in the ongoing Test series, nearly 200 runs ahead of the next best
- Gill is challenging Don Bradman's record for most runs by a captain in a Test series

In the ongoing India vs. England Test series, young Indian batsman Shubman Gill has emerged as a standout performer. On Day 4 of the crucial 4th Test, played on July 26, 2022, Gill scored an unbeaten 78 off 167 deliveries, helping India end the day at 174/2 in their second innings.
Gill's composed and gritty knock has been praised by former India player RP Singh, who noted that the 23-year-old batted like a "leader," dominating early on before adopting a more cautious approach as the situation demanded. Gill's consistency in the series has been remarkable, with the right-hander currently leading the run-scoring charts with 697 runs, nearly 200 more than the second-highest scorer, KL Rahul.
The former India pacer also pointed out that Gill is challenging the legendary Don Bradman's record for most runs scored by a captain in a Test series. If Gill can add 55 more runs to his tally on the final day, he will surpass Greg Chappell to become the second-highest run-scoring captain in a series, behind only Bradman's record of 810 runs.
