Prince vs Don: Shubman Gill on the verge of breaking these 4 crazy records

Shubman Gill is on the verge of rewriting cricket history. And not just any history, we’re talking about the sacred pages dominated by none other than Sir Don Bradman.
Shubman Gill isn’t just in form, he’s flirting with immortality. With each elegant stroke and each century raised to the sky, the 24-year-old Indian star is inching closer to some of the most hallowed records in Test cricket.
The new Indian skipper is on the verge of rewriting cricket history. And not just any history… we’re talking about the sacred pages dominated by none other than Sir Don Bradman. Yes, that Bradman. But if Gill keeps going the way he is, some of those records might not survive July.
Most Runs in a Test Series as Captain
Gill is just 225 runs away from breaking Bradman’s long-standing record of 810 runs in a single Test series as captain. That mark came during the 1936–37 Ashes — nearly nine decades ago. With six innings to go, Gill has the runway. The countdown has begun.
Most Runs in a Test Series
This one’s even bigger. The all-time record for most runs in a Test series, full stop. Bradman hammered 974 runs in the 1930 Ashes. If Gill scores 390 more, he becomes the new king. Given his current rhythm, don’t bet against it.
Fastest Captain to 1000 Test Runs
Bradman needed 11 innings to reach the 1000-run milestone as a Test captain. Gill? He’s already sitting on 585 runs in just 4 innings. If he maintains anything close to this form, this record won’t see the end of the month.
Most Centuries in a Test Series
Finally, a non-Bradman record. West Indies legend Clyde Walcott holds this one, 5 centuries in a single series, set in 1955. Gill has already slammed 3. Two more to equal, three more to own it outright. Six innings left. The door’s wide open.
These aren’t just numbers. These are legacy-defining milestones, and Gill is treating them not as distant dreams but as targets within reach. Lord’s may have Bradman’s name carved into its history, but Shubman Gill? He’s carving his legacy too, not in pencil, but with a permanent marker. And the ink isn’t dry yet.
