New Delhi: Captain of India Shubman Gill continued his sparkling race with the bat and engraved his name more deeply in records on day 4 of the fourth test against England at Old Trafford on Saturday. With a 78 undefeated in the second round of India, Gill exceeded the emblematic count of 692 from Virat Kohli of the tour in Australia 2014-15 to become the highest of Run-Recembre by an Indian striker in a single Sena tour (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia).

Do you think Shubman Gill will go beyond the Sunil Gavaskar record in this series?
By going beyond Kohli, Gill also went to second row on the list of most of the races marked by an Indian test captain in a single series, through conditions at home and outside. Only the 732 Sunil Gavaskar races against the Antilles in 1978-1979 were expected. The total of Gavaskar came in a series of six tests – a Gill feat now has a real chance to overtake with two sleeves in this series.Gill has also become the most marked Asian striker in a series of tests in England, exceeding the count of 631 points from Mohammad Yousuf from 2006.With three centuries already in the series, if Gill converts his current unbeaten 78 into fourth hundred on day 5, he will join the legendary Don Bradman and Gavaskar for the most hundreds (4) in a single series of tests by a captain.Earlier in the day, India endured a nightmare start in its second round while Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan fell in love with the ducks. But Gill and Kl Rahul, who remain undefeated out of 87, have sewn a brilliant partnership of 174 points together to help India end day 4 on 174/2, still followed by 137 points after the Mammoth 669 of England.
