IND Vs ENG: The Indian team is currently on a tour of England. Before the England tour, many people, including Team India, were questioning the captaincy of Shubman Gill. They felt that Shubman Gill was still young. He is not able to handle the pressure of captaincy and his own batting on a tour like England. So far, two matches of the series have been played and captain Shubman Gill has silenced everyone with his strong performance.
Shubman Gill has scored three centuries in the two matches of the series. This also includes a double century. In the two Test matches against England, he has scored 585 runs at an average of 146.25. Now the third match of the series will be played at Lord’s. Meanwhile, captain Shubman Gill has a great chance to surpass Virat Kohli and former veteran Rahul Dravid.
Shubman Gill has a chance to write history as a captain in the five-match series against England. Before Shubman Gill, many former batsmen have got the opportunity to captain in the England tour. Meanwhile, Rahul Dravid has become the highest run-scorer as a captain in the England tour. In the 2002 series, he had scored a total of 602 runs at an average of 100.33. In which he scored three centuries and one half-century.
After Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli has scored the most runs as captain in the England tour. He scored a total of 539 runs in 10 innings against England in 2018. He scored these runs at an average of 59.30. Shubman Gill is at the third position in this list as captain. Gill has scored a total of 585 runs in the two matches in this series so far.
Now he has a good chance to break the records of Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli. If he scores just 18 runs in the Lord’s Test, he will surpass the two legends Virat and Dravid in this regard. Scoring 18 runs at Lord’s is not a big deal for captain Gill. Therefore, he is considered certain to become the highest run-scorer as captain in the England series. Because even after Lord’s, Gill will have two Test matches left to bat.
