Shubman Gill New Record : Whenever India’s young star batsman Shubman Gill takes the field, he definitely makes some record in his name. Once again, when he takes the field for the second test against West Indies, a new feat is being expected from him. Ever since he became the captain of the Test team, new records are coming out of his bat.
Can achieve feat in the next match
He may not have been able to score many runs in the first match of the ongoing Test series against West Indies, but before this he has scored a lot of runs during the England series. Now Gill is waiting for the next match, when he will have another chance. Before this, many batsmen came close to Don Bradman’s record, but could not break it. Even Shubman Gill will not be able to break it, but he will definitely become the second captain after Don to achieve such a feat.

what is that feat
When Don Bradman captained his team, he scored 1000 runs by playing the least number of innings. Since then, no one has been able to break this record and if it is broken, not even by Shubman Gill, but he will definitely become the fastest captain after Don Bradman to score 1000 Test runs.
Scored 1000 runs in this many innings
Don Bradman, one of the great batsmen of the world, had completed 1000 runs in only 11 innings after becoming the captain. Since him, there have been many captains who came close to this record but could not break it. There was a time when Kamendu Mendis of Sri Lanka was also very close to it.
Gill needs 196 runs to complete this record
It is noteworthy that after becoming the Test captain, Shubman Gill scored 754 runs in the first 10 Test innings. After this, when he came out to play the first Test at home against West Indies, he scored 50 more runs there. That means he scored a total of 805 runs in the first ten innings. Now to complete one thousand runs, Gill needs to score only 196 runs. The second match of the ongoing Test series against West Indies is at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. It is being told that the pitch here is going to be very helpful for the batsmen.
