With more than 585 runs in the first two games of the five-match Test series against England, India captain Shubman Gill is off to a scorching start. With three games remaining, Gill has the opportunity to make history for several reasons, assuming he maintains the level of play he showed in Leeds and Birmingham.

The India captain has the chance to break several records held by none other than Sir Donald Bradman, the greatest of all time, as Gill and Team India take on England in the next challenge at Lord's.

Shubman Gill has a golden opportunity to surpass one of the most iconic records in Test cricket — the most runs scored in a single series by a captain. Sir Don Bradman set the benchmark with 810 runs during the 1936-37 Ashes, a record that has stood for 88 years.

With 585 runs already under his belt and potentially six more innings to play, Gill needs just 225 more to eclipse the legendary mark.

With 974 runs in just five games during the 1930 Ashes, Sir Donald Bradman now holds the record for most runs in a Test series. Shubman Gill would need to score 390 more runs in his final six innings to shatter this record.

Bradman reached 1000 Test runs in just 11 innings, setting a new record for fastest to 1000. Gill has already scored 585 runs in just 4 innings, and if he keeps up his current pace, Bradman's quick milestone may be seriously jeopardized.

While Sir Don Bradman holds the record for the most centuries in a Test series as captain, it’s West Indies legend Clyde Walcott who tops the overall list. Walcott smashed five centuries during a home Test series against Australia in 1955.

Shubman Gill is just one century away from matching Bradman’s mark as skipper and needs two more to equal Walcott’s all-time record.

In a five-match Test series, no player in history has ever scored 1000 runs. But before the England Test series ends, Gill has a realistic chance to accomplish a remarkable feat.
