After breaking many big records in the two matches played so far, Shubman Gill will try to maintain his excellent form in the third Test as well, which will be played at Lord’s from July 10 to 14. Gill will have a great opportunity to break five big records in the Lord’s Test. Let’s know what those records are.
Shubman Gill can break these 5 records in Lord’s Test
5. Record of scoring a century as captain in three consecutive Test matches
Shubman Gill has scored three centuries in this series including the matches played in Leeds and Edgbaston. If Gill scores a century in the Test to be held at Lord’s, then he will become the first Indian captain to score three consecutive centuries in the first three matches. In the 148 years of Test cricket history, no Indian captain has been able to make this record in his name so far.
4. Record of scoring the most runs in a Test series as an Indian captain
Gill has scored 585 runs in the two matches played so far in this series. If 148 runs come out of his bat in the Lord’s Test, then he will become the Indian captain to score the most runs in a Test series, leaving behind Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar scored 732 runs in 6 matches in the Test series held in 1978-79.
3. Record of scoring most runs in a Test series for India in England
Currently, Rahul Dravid holds the record for scoring the most runs in a Test series on England soil as an Indian batsman. He scored 602 runs in 4 matches against England in 2002. Gill needs only 18 runs to break this record of Dravid.
2. Can become the fourth Indian captain to win a Test at Lord’s
Winning a Test match at Lord’s has always been challenging for Team India. This is the reason why India has won at Lord’s only under the captaincy of Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. By winning the upcoming match, Gill can join the list of these legends.
1. Record of winning many Tests in England
In 93 years, only 7 Indian captains have won Test matches in England. Kapil Dev and Virat Kohli are the only two captains who have won many Tests for India on England soil. If Team India wins under Gill’s captaincy at Lord’s, he will join this club along with Kohli and Kapil Dev.
