Shubman Gill on Sunday became only the third Indian batter after Sunil Gavaskar and Yashasvi Jaiswal to score 700 runs or more in a Test series.
Gill completed 81 runs against England on the fifth day of the fourth Test during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy to cross the mark.
During this innings, Gill also became the first Asian batter to score 650 runs or more in a Test series in England. He had notched up a double century in the second Test in Birmingham, scoring 269 runs – his highest. Apart from that, he also has two hundreds this series.
Gavaskar holds the record for the most runs scored in a Test series for India. He had 774 runs to his account in eight innings against West Indies during the 1970/71 season.
He achieved the feat again in 1978/79 when West Indies visited India, scoring 732 runs in nine innings across six matches.
Jaiswal was the second Indian to cross the 700-run mark when he scored 712 runs against England during their five-match series in 2024.
