Shubman Gill scored his fifth Test century of 2025, the most by any player in the year they first started captaining their nation.
This achievement equalled the Indian record for most Test hundreds as a captain in a calendar year, previously held by Virat Kohli.
Notably, Gill reached five hundreds in just 12 innings as captain, with only Alastair Cook and Sunil Gavaskar achieving it faster.
His average as captain is 84.81, second only to Don Bradman among players who have captained at least seven times in Tests.
Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are creating waves with record-breaking performances.
Gill reached this mark in seven Tests, the same as Don Bradman.
