Shubman Gill has carved his name in the cricketing history books with a breathtaking knock of 430 runs, becoming the highest individual scorer for India in Test cricket. His marathon innings helped India post an unprecedented 1000-run total, a landmark rarely touched in the modern game.
The 25-year-old opener played the knock of a lifetime, blending elegance, technique, and endurance across multiple days of the Test match. Gill’s 430 included:
- 56 boundaries
- 8 sixes
- A strike rate of over 75 in a Test setting
- Record-breaking partnerships that demoralized the opposition bowling attack
Fans, pundits, and legends of the game are calling it “the innings of the century.”
India Reaches 1000 — A Monumental Test Feat
Team India declared their first innings at 1000/6, setting a new national and possibly world benchmark. This is only the third time in the history of Test cricket that a team has crossed the 1000-run mark — and the first time for India.
Contributions from the middle order supported Gill’s epic knock:
- Virat Kohli chipped in with 178
- Rishabh Pant smashed a quickfire 140
- Ravindra Jadeja added a gritty 85*
Record Broken by Gill
- Highest Individual Score by an Indian in Tests (Previous: 319 by Virender Sehwag)
- Second-Highest Score in Test History (Only behind Brian Lara’s 400*)
- Most runs in a single Test innings by an active cricketer
