27 Jul
Summary
- Shubman Gill scored a century in the 4th Test against England
- Gill's 4 centuries in the series tie records held by Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli
- Gill also tied Don Bradman's record for most centuries by a captain in a series
In a historic performance, Indian cricketer Shubman Gill scored a century during the fifth day of the fourth Test match against England at Old Trafford in Manchester. This was Gill's fourth hundred in the series, tying him with legendary Indian batsmen Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli for the most centuries by an Indian in a single series.
Gavaskar had achieved the feat twice, both times against the West Indies, in 1971 and 1978. Kohli, on the other hand, scored four tons during India's tour of Australia in 2014/15. Gill's latest century also saw him tie the record set by the legendary Don Bradman for the most hundreds by a captain in a series, which Bradman had achieved during the Ashes in 1947/48 in Australia.
Furthermore, Gill became the third Indian batter after Gavaskar and Yashasvi Jaiswal to register 700 runs or more in a single series. This remarkable performance has cemented Gill's status as one of the most promising young talents in world cricket.
