From Shubman Gill to Ruturaj Gaikwad, 5 Indian batters fastest to 3000 runs in T20s

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday (August 6) announced the nominees for the Men’s Player of the Month for July 2025. India’s Shubman Gill, England’s Ben Stokes and South Africa’s Wiaan Mulder have been shortlisted after outstanding performances in Test cricket.<h2>Shubman Gill – India</h2>Shubman Gill had a month to remember, scoring 567 runs at a stunning average of 94.50 in three Tests during India’s series in England. His biggest moment came at Edgbaston, where he played a true captain's knock and his career-best innings of 269 and then followed it up with a brilliant 161 in the second innings. That 430-run fest is the second-highest in Test history, behind only Graham Gooch’s 456.&nbsp;Gill’s form didn’t stop there. At Old Trafford cricket ground, he hit a second-innings 103 after India were reduced to 0/2 to help the hosts draw the match and keep the series alive. Leading India in his first series as Test captain, Gill won two out of five Tests.&nbsp;Also read |<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/what-do-kohli-and-gill-have-in-common-in-their-test-wins-in-england-1754476066114"> Gill’s historic England wins mirror Kohli’s toss-losing triumphs. Deets inside</a><h2>Wiaan Mulder – South Africa</h2>South Africa’s Wiaan Mulder was a star with both bat and ball in the two-Test series against Zimbabwe. He scored 531 runs, including 147 in the first Test. But the highlight was his unbeaten 367 in Bulawayo (the highest individual score in South African Test history). Mulder was equally effective with the ball, scalping seven wickets. This all-round contribution earned him the 'Player of the Series' award.<h2>Ben Stokes – England</h2>In the three Tests against India in July 2025, England captain Ben Stokes scored 251 runs at an average of 50.20 and sent 12 Indian batters back to the pavilion. He was named Player of the Match in consecutive games – first at Lord’s, and then at Old Trafford, where he took a fifer and scored a century (141).

During the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar trophy, Shubman Gill led India to a historic series draw (2-2). India pulled off a thriller at The Oval, defeating the hosts by six runs. It was a series to remember for Gill, as he scored 754 runs, along with a career-best figure of 269 runs.

Five India-England Tests down to the wire should be sufficient to persuade the sporting world to leave the format alone, reckoned Shubman Gill after a thrilling victory at The Oval on Monday (August 4). All of the five matches had gone to day five, an exemplary promotion for the format that is under threat from the boom in franchise cricket.&nbsp;“Test cricket should be, as it is, in my opinion, it is the most, rewarding and satisfying format, you work the hardest, to be able to, get a win, and, the best thing, about this format, is it always gives you a second chance, which none of the other formats give,” Gill said in the post-match press conference.&nbsp;“So, if you keep working hard, if you keep doing the right things, there is always a second chance.

Oval Test win ‘means so much’ to captain Shubman Gill as India-England share honours

The inaugural season of the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy has been phenomenal for the Indian batters with three batters crossing the 500-run mark. Now, let's glance at the five Indian batters who scored the most runs during the ongoing India-England Test series.

From Shubman Gill to KL Rahul: Top five Indian run-scorers in Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy

Indian Test captain Shubman Gill fell shy of breaking batting hero Sunil Gavaskar’s record tally for most runs by an Indian in a Test series. Resuming batting alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal just after lunch on day three at the Oval, Gill, taking the stride against Gus Atkinson, was trapped in front of the wicket on the first delivery. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena raised his finger in no time, with Gill reviewing it straight away. Although the replays hinted at a slight deflection when the ball crossed the bat, the Ultra-Edge showed no spike, leaving Gill with no option but to walk back to the pavilion.&nbsp;Gill finished his first series as the Indian Test captain with a whopping 754 runs across five Tests, the second-most by an Indian and just behind Gavaskar, who continues to hold the top spot and the record with 774 runs during the 1971 series against the West Indies. Gill, however, is also second on the list of captains with most runs in a Test series, with Sir Donald Bradman leading the chart with 810 runs against England (1936/37).&nbsp;<h3>Watch his wicket -</h3>

Meanwhile, Gill had the perfect start to this series. In his debut game as the new Test captain, Gill hammered twin hundreds in Leeds before smashing his career-best (269) in the second Test at Edgbaston. After a mediocre outing at Lord’s, Gill returned to form in the fourth Test in Manchester, hitting his third triple-digit score in the second innings.&nbsp; &nbsp;Despite his mammoth outings, India trailed (1-2) leading into the fifth and final Test at the Oval. The Indian captain had two innings in London to go past Gavaskar and Bradman on separate lists, but failed to do so after scoring 21 and 11 across two innings.<h3>India win first session on day three</h3>After being reduced to 77 for two at stumps on the second day, the batting pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Akash Deep made merry early on day three, with the fortune also favouring them. While Jaiswal completed yet another hundred in this series (in the second session), <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/oval-test-day-3-lunch-head-coach-gautam-gambhir-unearths-india-sunil-narine-in-akash-deep-as-visitors-on-top-1754136435395">Akash Deep’s batting was all that made headlines in the first</a>.&nbsp; &nbsp;Coming in as the night watchman, the right-handed batter slammed his maiden Test fifty, hitting 66 and stitching a 100-plus-partnership stand with Jaiswal for the third wicket.

On Day 2 of the ongoing fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval, England’s players took the field wearing special headbands in memory of the late Graham Thorpe, who died by suicide last year. The headbands, co-designed with Thorpe’s family, are part of the “A Day for Thorpey” initiative, which aims to raise funds for the mental health charity Mind. The design mirrors the iconic style Thorpe sported during his playing days. Limited-edition versions are being sold to support the cause.&nbsp;Thorpe, who passed away on August 4 last year at the age of 55 after a long struggle with major depression and anxiety, was one of England’s most dependable batters of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Debuting in 1993, the left-hander played 100 Tests, scoring 6,744 runs at an average of 44.66, with 16 centuries and 39 half-centuries, including a highest score of 200 not out. In ODIs, he amassed 2,380 runs at 37.18 with 21 fifties. A Surrey stalwart, Thorpe’s influence extended beyond his own career.

On Day 2 of the ongoing fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval, England’s players took the field wearing special headbands in memory of the late Graham Thorpe, who died by suicide last year. The headbands, co-designed with Thorpe’s family, are part of the “A Day for Thorpey” initiative, which aims to raise funds for the mental health charity Mind. The design mirrors the iconic style Thorpe sported during his playing days. Limited-edition versions are being sold to support the cause. Thorpe, who passed away on August 4 last year at the age of 55 after a long struggle with major depression and anxiety, was one of England’s most dependable batters of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Debuting in 1993, the left-hander played 100 Tests, scoring 6,744 runs at an average of 44.66, with 16 centuries and 39 half-centuries, including a highest score of 200 not out. In ODIs, he amassed 2,380 runs at 37.18 with 21 fifties. A Surrey stalwart, Thorpe’s influence extended beyond his own career. As part of England’s coaching setup, he played a key role in developing modern stars such as England Test captain Ben Stokes and Joe Root.

Indian Test skipper Shubman Gill found himself in an unwanted club on Thursday (Jul 31) when he lost his fifth consecutive toss during the Kia Oval Test of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. On a green-top pitch perfect for bowlers, losing the toss proved costly as India, after being asked to bat under overcast conditions, lost six wickets on the opening day. With this toss loss, Gill became only the fourth Indian Test captain to lose all five tosses in a series. It also marked India’s 15th consecutive loss in international tosses across formats.&nbsp;This was just the 14th instance in Test history where a captain has lost all five tosses in a series.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here’s a look at the other Indian skippers who are a part of this unwanted club.<h2>Lala Amarnath (1948‑49 vs West Indies)</h2>Independent India’s first Test captain, Lala Amarnath, went through a rough patch when the West Indies toured India in 1948.

With India preparing for the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, there has been a pitch access controversy taking centre stage at The Oval. India skipper Shubman Gill has now spoken on the issue between head coach Gautam Gambhir and Oval pitch curator Lee Fortis. &nbsp;While India practiced on Tuesday, Gambhir had a heated confrontation with Lee over the practice facilities. Stepping aside, the Indian head coach gestured wildly, pointing a finger and mouthing a couple of words. India's batting coach, Sitanshu Kotak, was then spotted intervening, leading Lee aside and talking briefly to him. &nbsp;Whereas Kotak seemed to defuse the tension in explaining their position, Gambhir, standing close to the nets, wagged his finger at Lee and angrily declared, “You don't tell us what to do.” India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate joined Kotak in his exchange with Lee, as Gambhir kept on making his point from the other side. Lee uttered a few words to Gambhir before finally walking out of the scene. &nbsp;Lee was asked regarding the whole affair, but he preferred not to open up before the reporters and said, “It's not my job to be happy with him. I don't know, you have to ask him.” Kotak, and a couple of Indian management members, were observed attempting to clarify the situation to an English official. Kotak did most of the talking during that time. Addressing the pre-final Test press conference, Gill said, "I don't know what exactly happened yesterday and why the pitch curator did what he did. We have played four matches, and no one tried to stop us. Everyone has played so much cricket, and the coaches and the captain have gone and seen the wicket so many times. I don't know what the fuss was all about." He went on to clarify that it is not unusual for captains and coaches to walk over the pitch up close, a standard step in preparation, provided that the individual is barefoot or has rubber spikes on. "If a pitch curator is going to come and ask us to not look at the wicket and look at the wicket from three metres from behind, that is not something that has happened to us before. We have been playing cricket for such a long time and as long as you are under rubber spikes or you are barefoot, you are allowed to look at the wicket from close quarters, and that is the job of the coach and the captain. So I don't know why the curator didn't let us or didn't allow us to do that. It is not the first time that we were having a look at the wicket," he added. "We have been here for almost, I think, two months and like I said, a coach has every right to be able to go close quarters and have a look at the wicket and I didn't think there was anything wrong with that. I actually don't know why the curator would not allow us to go have a look at the wicket," the India captain signed off.

Team India will have a task in their hand as they face England in the final Test of the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy on Thursday (July 31). Trailing 1-2 in the series, Shubman Gill &amp; Co. will need to win at any cost or else walk empty-handed in the five-match series. While winning a match is in India’s hands and down to their efforts, one factor is not in control of the visitors, as they now stand a rare probability of losing 15 consecutive tosses in international cricket.<h2>Rare probability could be a reality</h2>As things stand, India have lost 14 consecutive tosses, achieving the rare feat which has a probability of 1/16384. However, if the Gill loses another toss, fifth in a row in the ongoing series, the probability will reach 1/32678. No team in international cricket has achieved this unfortunate feat, but with one more toss, it could soon become a reality.

Shubman Gill cannot stop scoring runs, but it hasn’t helped India much on this tour. The newly-appointed Indian Test skipper tore record books with his fourth hundred in as many games against England this time, equalling Sunil Gavaskar and Sir Donald Bradman’s tally of most centuries by a captain in a Test series. With one more game left in this Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Gill has a chance to break more records that have stood the test of time. He, however, got out just after hitting 103 on day five of the Manchester Test, allowing the hosts to make a comeback in this game and push for a series win at Old Trafford.&nbsp;The final day in Manchester began with Gill and KL Rahul grabbing all attention. Given the playing conditions get challenging on day five, Gill and Rahul had plenty riding on their shoulders, and although they did well early on, even surviving some close calls, a peach from English captain Ben Stokes broke the stand, sending Rahul packing on 90, trapped in the front.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-test-match-jadeja-greater-all-rounder-than-stokes-says-kapil-dev-hails-him-as-better-performer-1753604087866">Jadeja greater all-rounder than Stokes, says Kapil Dev, hails him as ‘better performer’</a> &nbsp;All-rounder Washington Sundar joined his skipper in the middle, with team batting coach Sitanshu Kotak hinting at injured Rishabh Pant’s availability on day five should he be needed.

England opener Zak Crawley said he loved his role in the time-wasting row during the Lord’s Test, also involving Indian captain Shubman Gill. Crawley played that one over off Jasprit Bumrah late on day three that made headlines. Meanwhile, following his attacking 84 in the first innings in Manchester, Crawley admitted enjoying riling up India during ‘that passage of play’ in the previous Test, which saw Gill lose his cool and attack the English opener with, 'grow some f***ing balls' remarks during the verbal altercation. The pair also pointed fingers at each other during the heated exchange.&nbsp;"I've always enjoyed that part of cricket, to be honest, especially when you're batting," Crawley said after the second day’s play at Old Trafford.&nbsp;"There's two of you against eleven, and they're desperate to get you out, and they're chirping you.&nbsp;"Most of the time, I'd probably let it slide, and then other times, I feel like it's a good chance to put it back on them.

You don't have to show it when you're captain. Or did he show it because he's got this confidence now that he's won a Test match and he's got so many runs? Because with Virat Kohli, you could see that he was ready for a scrap. He was always waiting to get in the thick of things. Even when he wasn't a captain, you could see him coming in there. So that was a trait that we'd seen even before he was captain. With Shubman Gill, I've never seen it before," he added.India went on to lose the Test by 22 runs after failing to chase down a modest 194. Gill, who had scored 585 runs in the first two Tests including three tons, failed to score even a fifty in the match. India now trail the five-match series 1-2 with fourth Test set to be played from July 23 in Manchester.

Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar says that newly-appointed Test skipper Shubman Gill's dismissal in second innings of the Lord's Test had something to do with scuffle he had with England batter Zak Crawley in last over of the day 3. Gill exchanged words with Crawley after England batter pulled out of batting stance against Bumrah twice and asked for glove change in the same over as well. Gill's reaction took everyone by surprise as he had never been known to be this aggressive before becoming the captain.

Meet 5 captains with the most runs in a Test series – Shubman Gill knocks on the door

Shortly after India narrowly lost the Lord’s Test by 22 runs, captain Shubman Gill dropped an update on Rishabh Pant’s availability for the next Test at Old Trafford in Manchester, starting Wednesday (Jul 23). Pant suffered an injury to his index finger while keeping during England’s first innings, sitting out for the rest of the game while fielding as India roped in Dhruv Jurel as his replacement. Pant, however, batted in both innings with an injured hand. With England using the advantage of it, bowling mid-leg line throughout the second inning, Indian fans wonder if Pant will be deemed fit in time for the fourth Test.&nbsp;During the post-match presser, Gill revealed that Pant 'should be fine' in time for the fourth Test against England after scans revealed ‘no major injury’ to the index finger of his left hand, per the latest reports. &nbsp;Meanwhile, during the 34th over of England’s first innings, Pant dived to his left to save a ball from going to the boundary, only for that to hit the index finger of his left hand and injure it. Pant was immediately down with immense pain, with team doctors rushing to the spot to check him. Although Pant kept wickets in that over, he left the field afterwards, with Jurel filling in for him.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-ravindra-jadeja-the-hero-for-india-but-england-win-at-lords-in-nail-bitter-lead-test-series-2-1-1752508334553">IND vs ENG: Jadeja the hero for India but England win Lord’s nail-biter, lead series 2-1</a> &nbsp;The left-handed batter, however, came out to bat in both innings, scoring 74 off 112 balls in the first innings before Ben Stokes ran him out with a direct throw, and hitting nine off 12 in the second, only to get out clean bowled to a Jaffa from Jofra Archer. &nbsp;Pant cannot take the same leverage heading into the Manchester Test and would only be picked should he be declared fit.<h2>India lost at Lord’s &nbsp;</h2>The third Test of this Anderson-Tendulkar series ended with the hosts winning the contest by 22 runs late on day five.

IND vs ENG: Will Rishabh Pant play in Manchester? Captain Gill drops major update after Lord’s beating

Indian captain Shubman Gill failed to score big on his third successive Test outing in the UK, getting out cheaply across both innings in the third match at the Lord's. While there was not much to read in his first-inning dismissal, where he nicked one behind off Chris Woakes, his second-inning one urged the commentators and analysts to look deep into his game. One such broadcaster, Sanjay Manjrekar, shared some insights on the same; he urged Gill to seek clarity on navigating his temperament better. He cited examples of two former Indian captains who navigated this in their way and succeeded.&nbsp;Chasing 192 in the second innings, Gill walked out to bat after Karun Nair’s dismissal late on day four. Unlike how he batted in the previous two Tests, he looked out of place late, with England fielders making it worse for him by sledging him. Under pressure to deliver for his team in this crunch situation, Gill failed to replicate his past performances. The English quicks made most of this situation, attacking Gill and finally getting the better of him, with Brydon Carse dismissing him, trapped in front of the wickets.&nbsp;

“Gill suddenly looking tentative last evening, had a lot to do with the hostility he got at the crease from England,” Manjrekar said in his social media post.&nbsp; &nbsp;Sanjay continued writing, unlike the two former Indian captains, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, who coped with such situations differently, Gill failed to navigate his temperament in either way, finding himself in a no man's land. While Kohli used to get into the God mode upon being sledged, making him more dangerous, Dhoni used to stay calm, which helped him throughout his professional career. &nbsp;“Virat performed better, the angrier he got. Dhoni the exact opposite. Gill must decide what gets the best out of him as batter, calmness or anger,” Manjrekar said.

<h3>Crazy game at Lord’s</h3>After India dismissed England on 387 in the first innings, they put up a similar score on the board in reply, making it the 17th instance in Test history when two teams got out on similar scores in a Test match. With that, this match turned into a One-Dayer, with England hitting 191 in their second innings, setting an under-par yet challenging target (192) for India. &nbsp;Team India lost four wickets overnight, including their captain Gill, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and new number three Karun Nair. Early on day five, England accounted for Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Washington Sundar, putting India’s back against the wall.

While there was not much to read in his first-inning dismissal, where he nicked one behind off Chris Woakes, his second-inning one urged the commentators and analysts to look deep into his game.

Shubman Gill is leading the Indian Test side for the first time and he's enjoying the responsibility with the form of his life. The Indian skipper has already scored 607 runs in three Tests of the series - the most by an Indian batter in England. The previous best of 602 was by Rahul Dravid in four Tests back in 2002 when India drew the series 1-1. Gill has two Tests and four innings more to add to his tally and may be go past Yashasvi Jaiswal's 712-run record for most runs by an Indian in a Test series vs England at home or away.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/under-par-stokes-while-batting-first-time-as-skipper-now-struggling-in-second-attempt-as-well-1752481716160">Under par Stokes while batting first time now struggling in 2nd attempt as well</a>As skipper, Gill's already past Virat Kohli's record of 593 runs in a series in England and took four innings less to do so. Kohli's 655 runs in home series against England is also well within Gill's reach and he needs just 85 runs more to go past it. Gill's three hundreds in six innings he had played are also joint most along with Rahul Dravid who had scored three tons twice in a series in England - in 2002 and 2011.Before the ongoing series, Gill had played three Tests in England - two World Test Championship (WTC) final in 2021 and 2023 to go with a Test against the home side in 2022. He had scored just 88 runs in those three Tests across six innings and with no fifties and a highest of 28. In comparison, Gill scored 147 runs in his first innings of the tour and then scored 269 &amp; 161 in two innings of the second Test at Edgbaston.Thanks to Gill's record-breaking second Test in Edgbaston, India won a match for the very first time at the venue and equalized the ongoing five-Test series at 1-1 before heading to Lord's for the third Test - their favourite venue in England with three Test wins.

The Indian skipper has already scored 607 runs in three Tests of the series - the most by an Indian batter in England. The previous best of 602 was by Rahul Dravid in four Tests back in 2002 when India drew the series 1-1.
