ENG vs IND: Shubman Gill's Historic Century Feats In England Test Series
The Indian Test captain Shubman Gill broke many world records by scoring a brilliant century on the fifth day of the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford, Manchester. In this match played at Old Trafford ground in Manchester, Gill played such an incredible knock, which no captain has been able to do in his captain test debut series so far.
Shubman Gill's Magic as Captain
The 25-year-old has scored four centuries in the very first Test series of his captaincy career, becoming the first player in the cricket world to do so. Earlier there were only five names in this list—Warwick Armstrong, Don Bradman, Greg Chappell, Virat Kohli, and Steve Smith—each of whom had scored only three centuries in their debut series. Gill left all of them behind and created history.
Most centuries against England
Gill's performance in this series was so great that he also made the record of scoring the most centuries against England by any captain. Earlier, only Don Bradman and Sunil Gavaskar had scored 4 centuries in a single Test series; now Gill's name has also been added to this list.
Most centuries for India in a Test series
Gill has now joined the elite list of Indian players who have scored four centuries in a single Test series:
* Sunil Gavaskar vs. West Indies, 1971 (overseas)
* Sunil Gavaskar vs. West Indies, 1978/79 (in India)
* Virat Kohli vs. Australia, 2014/15 (overseas)
* Shubman Gill vs. England, 2025 (overseas)
