IND vs ENG: Gill Eyes History Books as England Tour Looms
Ray Sportz Web Desk: As India gears up to face England in the upcoming Test series, all eyes are on young batting sensation Shubman Gill, who is on the verge of rewriting cricketing history. The 24-year-old prodigy stands just a few innings away from breaking four world records, three of which are currently held by the legendary Sir Don Bradman.
Among the milestones in Gill’s reach are the record for fastest to 2000 Test runs, most Test centuries before turning 25, and highest batting average under 25 with a minimum threshold of 1500 runs. Additionally, Gill could surpass the record for most Test runs in a calendar year by a player under 25, should his current form continue.
Cricket pundits believe that the England series could mark a turning point in Gill’s career. “He has the temperament and talent. If he remains consistent, this could be his defining series,” said a BCCI official.
With the world watching, Shubman Gill now carries the promise of the next batting great — and perhaps, the shadow of Bradman’s greatness just a little closer than ever before.
