Shubman Gill on Thursday surpassed the legendary Sunil Gavaskar for the most runs scored by an Indian captain in a single Test series during the ongoing fifth Test against England at The Oval.

At the conclusion of the first session, Gill remained unbeaten on 15 runs from 23 balls, striking three elegant fours. His composed presence at the crease has been pivotal to India’s efforts in this series.

Gill’s prolific run-scoring spree has been nothing short of extraordinary. Across nine innings in the series, he has amassed a staggering 737 runs at an impressive average of 92.12. This tally includes four centuries, highlighted by a towering best score of 269. His consistency and resilience have positioned him as the leading run-scorer in the series, dominating the charts and setting new benchmarks for Indian Test captains.
