Shubman Gill has scripted history by breaking Rahul Dravid’s record of scoring the most runs in a Test series for India in England. During the India tour of England in 2002, Dravid scored a total of 602 runs in six innings and Gull crossed that run mark on Day 4 of the ongoing 3rd Test at Lord’s on Sunday.
Most Runs By An Indian In A Series In England
Shubman Gill – 607* (2025)
Rahul Dravid – 602 (2002)
Virat Kohli – 593 (2018)
Sunil Gavaskar – 542 (1979)
Rahul Dravid – 461 (2011)
The 25-year-old Gill, who is leading India for the first time in Test cricket, has been in fantastic form during the ongoing England tour. He has scored 607 runs in the 6 innings so far. Now, Gill has the opportunity to break the record of Virat Kohli and Sunil Gavaskar of scoring most runs in a Test series by an Indian captain.
Most Runs By Indian Captain In Test Series
Sunil Gavaskar 1978-79 West Indies 732
Virat Kohli 2016 England 655
Virat Kohli 2017 Sri Lanka 610
Shubman Gill 2025 England 603*
Virat Kohli 2018 England 593
India are chasing a total of 193 runs in the fourth innings of the third Test at Lord’s and go 2-1 up in the ongoing five-match series.
Shubman Gill Faces Sledging From Ben Duckett At Lord’s
After failing to score big in both innings in the third Test, India captain Shubman Gill faced some sledging from England opener Ben Duckett at Lord’s.
“600 runs and he’s done for this series. 600 runs is enough for this fella,” said Duckett to his teammates, taking aim at Gill on Day of the Lord’s Test.
Notably, if India manage to beat England in the ongoing third match, Gill will become the fourth Indian captain after Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli to win a Test against England at Lord’s.
