Five mind-boggling stats about Shubman Gill's series against England

The Indian cricket pulled off one of its most famous heists at the Oval to win the fifth and final Test of the five-match series against England by a narrow margin of six runs, thus tying the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 2-2. Captain Shubman Gill, commanding the team in his first series as a captain, had a barnstorming series himself, racking up a whopping 754 runs. 'Feels very rewarding,' Gill said after being awarded the India player of the tournament by England coach Brendon McCullum. 'I worked pretty hard before the start of the series. There were certain things that I wanted to work on as a batsman, and it was my goal to be able to be the best batter of the series. And to be able to accomplish that goal feels very satisfying and very rewarding. 'I think once you are sorted mentally, you would be in a good space. But you're only sorted mentally when you're feeling technically correct. So, I think they're both kind of correlated. If you feel like you're getting in good positions, you're always mentally more stable.' Here's a look five mind-boggling stats from captain Shubman Gill's series against England 754: Shubman Gill's series tally of 754 runs stands as the second-highest total by any captain in a single series in Test cricket history. It is only behind Don Bradman's haul of 810 against England in 1936-37. Four: Gill hit four hundreds, including a double hundred in Edgbaston, in the five-match series. Bradman (against India in 1947-48) and Sunil Gavaskar (against West Indies in 1978-79) are the only other captains to have ever done so before. 269: Before the England tour began, Gill's highest Test score was 128. In the series, three of his four tons were higher scores: 147, 269, 161. 430: The amount of runs Gill scored at Edgbaston is the 2nd most in a single Test match ever. 41.35: That Gill hadn't quite figured out consistency in Test cricket was reflected in his pre-England average of 35.05. But at the end of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy his average has crossed 40 for the first time since his 4th Test.

Mohammed Siraj couldn't forgive himself, kept thinking about Harry Brook's catch: ‘How could I do this…'

Life came full circle for Mohammed Siraj in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. From the extreme lows at the Lord's Test to the extreme highs at the Oval, the 31-year-old pacer from Hyderabad witnessed a plethora of emotions, perfectly explaining that sport is a great leveller. At Lord's, Siraj was in his haunches after seeing the bails come off. The No.11 batter played a perfect forward defence off the bowling of Shoaib Bashir; however, the ball rolled back onto the stumps, and the bails fell, giving England a thrilling 22-run win. Mohammed Siraj returned with five wickets in second innings of the Oval Test. (Action Images via Reuters) However, fate had ecstasy in store for Siraj, too, as the Indian pacer led Shubman Gill and co. to a thrilling win at the Oval. He returned with five wickets in the second innings, giving the side a thrilling six-run win to level the five-match series 2-2. But the joy of leading India to a win didn't come easily. Siraj was once again at the centre on Day 4 when he failed to grab the catch off Harry Brook at the boundary ropes. The right-handed batter went for a pull shot off the bowling of Prasidh Krishna. However, he miscued it, and Siraj settled at the boundary ropes for what seemed a simple catch. Siraj did take the catch cleanly; however, his foot touched the boundary cushion, and as a result, Brook got a reprieve. England added six more runs to the total in their chase of 374. The 26-year-old batter went on to score 111 runs, and England looked set to make it 3-1. However, once Harry Brook fell, the floodgates opened, and India barged through the door. Siraj did the clean-up job on the final day, where England required 35 runs more with four wickets in hand.

'To be honest, I cannot describe my emotions. When I was going to sleep after stumps on Day 4, I kept thinking about the dropped catch of Harry Brook. I was just thinking, 'How could I have done such a thing?' If I had taken it cleanly, we wouldn't be here right now. We would have been chilling in our hotel rooms,' said Siraj in a video posted on the BCCI website. 'God's plan' Siraj finished as the leading wicket-taker in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with 23 scalps to his name. The 31-year-old really stepped up in Jasprit Bumrah's absence, thriving in the responsibility of leading the pace attack. In the two Tests where Bumrah didn't play, Siraj brought out the best in himself, leading the attack and ensuring India's victory. 'But I guess it was God's plan. The result is there for everyone to see. I wake up in the morning, I knew that I could make it happen. I always had the belief in myself. I put the 'believe' wallpaper on my phone. I just want to thank everyone. Every batter, bowler, hats off to them. This comeback was crazy,' said Siraj. Siraj who dropped a banger the T20 World Cup 2024, saying, 'I only believe in Jassi Bhai', came up with another astonishing line, perhaps realising his own importance this time around. 'I missed Jassi Bhai. He has a different presence about himself. I only believe in Jassi bhai and myself,' he added.
