Udaipur, July 29, 2025: Even though Team India is trailing 1-2 in the five-Test series against England, captain Shubman Gill has impressed everyone with his batting. So far, Gill has scored 722 runs in 8 innings at an average of 90.25, including four centuries. Now, in the fifth and final Test at The Oval, he will be aiming to break 5 big world records. Let’s take a look at the records he is chasing.

On the edge of world records

If Gill scores one more century in the 5th Test at The Oval in London, he will equal the world record made by West Indies legend Clyde Walcott in 1955. Walcott had scored 5 centuries in a single Test series against Australia, which is still a world record.

Walcott had scored 827 runs in that series 89 years ago. So far, Gill has scored 722 runs in this series against England. If he plays two big innings in the final Test, he can break this record. Gill is already in the group of Indian legends Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli, who scored 4 centuries in one Test series. If Gill scores one more century, he will create a special record.

Don Bradman's record

Great player Don Bradman had scored 810 runs as a captain in the 1936-37 Ashes series. Gill is now just 89 runs away from this record. If he scores more than this, he will become the highest run scorer in a Test series as a captain.

Sunil Gavaskar’s record

Gill needs just 53 more runs to become the highest run scorer for India in a single Test series. Right now, Sunil Gavaskar holds this record with 774 runs.

Also, Gill needs only 11 runs to break Gavaskar’s record for most runs scored as a captain in a Test series for India.
