Overview
- Gill has compiled 722 runs in eight innings with four centuries, surpassing Rahul Dravid’s mark for most runs by an Indian in a Test series in England.
- He is the first Test captain to score four centuries in an away series, joining only Don Bradman and Sunil Gavaskar in that achievement.
- Gill stands 11 runs shy of Sunil Gavaskar’s captaincy record of 732 runs and 53 runs short of Gavaskar’s overall Indian bilateral series tally of 774.
- A further 89 runs at The Oval would eclipse Don Bradman’s 810-run record for the highest-scoring captain in a single Test series.
- India trail the five-match series 1-2 and can secure their first drawn series in England since 2007 by leveling at The Oval.
