Shubman Gill on Sunday scored a century during the fifth day of the fourth Test match against England at Old Trafford in Manchester.
This was Gill’s fourth hundred in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which tied him with Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli for the most hundreds by an Indian in a series.
Gavaskar had achieved the feat twice, both times against West Indies, in 1971 and 1978. Kohli got four tons during India’s tour to Australia in 2014/15.
Gill also tied Don Bradman, for the most hundreds in a series by a captain. Bradman had reached the three-figure mark four times during the Ashes in 1947/48 in Australia.
During the innings, Gill also became the third Indian batter after Gavaskar and Yashasvi Jaiswal to register 700 runs or more in a series.
