The 25-year-old has now become only the fourth Indian skipper to register centuries in successive Tests, joining an elite list that includes Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar, and Virat Kohli.

Prior to the tour, Gill’s record in English conditions was underwhelming — averaging just 14.66.

However, the year 2025 has marked a remarkable turnaround for the stylish right-hander. His recent exploits have not only helped India gain momentum but also placed him among India’s best-performing Test captains in England.

By scoring two centuries as captain in England — and that too in back-to-back games — Gill has matched Azharuddin’s feat and reaffirmed his status as a leader in red-ball cricket.

His latest ton was also his third consecutive in Test cricket, stretching back to a century in Dharamsala last year.
