Shubman Gill may not have scored the volume of runs which the Indian captain did in the first two games; however, his meagre returns in the third Test at Lord's against England of 16 and 6 in the two innings, helped him break a 23-year-old record of Rahul Dravid. Gill now has the highest number of runs by an Indian batter in a Test series in England (607) in just three games, surpassing Dravid's 602 in the iconic 2002 series. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/shubman-gill-breaks-rahul-dravid-s-23-year-old-india-record-in-tests-in-england-despite-poor-outing-at-lord-s-2025-07-13-998719
Cricket has become demanding over the last few years especially since the advent of the T20 format at the international level. Keeping up with all three formats - ODI, T20I and Tests - has become tough for the players across the world. This has led to players retiring from at least one of the formats in order to prolong their careers in other forms of the sport. For the same reason, scoring a century in all three formats is considered a special achievement and only five Indian players have managed to do it.source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/who-is-the-1st-indian-player-to-score-a-century-in-all-three-formats-2023-06-26-877940
