India vs. England: With more than 585 runs in the first two games of the five-match Test series against England, India captain Shubman Gill is off to a scorching start. With three games remaining, Gill has the opportunity to make history for a number of reasons, assuming he maintains the level of play he showed in Leeds and Birmingham. The captain has the chance to break several records held by none other than Sir Donald Bradman, the greatest of all time, when Gill and Team India take on the next challenge at Lord's.

Most Runs In A Single Test Series

The record for most runs in a single test series is currently held by Sir Donald Bradman, who amassed 974 runs in five Test matches during the 1930 Ashes assignment. To surpass this record, Gill would have to score 390 more runs in the final six innings.

Most Runs In A Test Series As Captain

Shubman has the most runs in a test series as captain. As captain, Gill has a fantastic chance to surpass Sir Don Bradman's record for most runs scored in a Test series. Eighty-eight years ago, during the 1936–37 Ashes, he amassed 810 runs in a five-Test series. Gill has a good chance of creating history, as he has six more innings to go and add 225 runs to his total of 585.

Fastest 1000 Runs As Test Captain

With 11 innings, the legendary Australian batsman set a record for the fastest 1000 runs in Test cricket history. In just four innings, Gill has already scored 585 runs. Bradman's record might be surpassed if he keeps up his scoring pace.

Most Hundreds In One Test Series

West Indies batsman Clyde Walcott is ranked first overall, but Sir Don Bradman is the record holder for most tons in a Test series as a captain. During a 1955 home Test series against Australia, Walcott scored five hundreds. Gill just needs two more hundred to match Walcott's total and one more to match Bradman's record as captain.

In a five-match Test series, no player in history has ever scored 1000 runs. Not even Sir Don Bradman was able to accomplish the feat. But before the England assignment ends, Gill has a realistic chance to accomplish a historic feat.
