Shubman Gill Test stats and records in England: Shubman Gill, the rising star of Indian cricket, is considered to be India's new hope in the Test format. Known for his brilliant batting and classical shots, Gill has played many great innings on home soil, but when it comes to England, his figures tell a different story. Shubman Gill has to take charge of Team India as Test captain on the upcoming England tour, so all eyes will be on his batting.
| Matches | Innings | Runs | Average | Highest Score | 50+ Scores | 100+ Scores |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 6 | 88 | 14.57 | 28 | 0 | 0 |
Shubman Gill has played only a few Test matches in England so far, and his figures have been a matter of some concern for Indian fans. According to the available information, he has scored only 88 runs in 6 innings of a total of 3 Test matches on England soil. His average has been just 14.57, which cannot be called satisfactory for any established batsman. Most importantly, not a single half-century or century has come out of his bat in these 6 innings, and his highest score has been 28 runs.
These figures show that the conditions in England, where the ball swings and seams a lot, have proved to be a big challenge for Gill. His technique, which looks quite effective on Indian pitches, has struggled against England's fast and swinging balls. In particular, his weakness against outswingers and his tendency to play the ball with hard hands have been questioned by many experts.

It is not just about England, but Shubman Gill's overall Test record on foreign soil has also not been very impressive. His average in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) countries is less than 30 and he has not scored a century there. His highest score in Australia has been 91 runs, but overall he is yet to prove himself in foreign conditions.

Now that Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new captain of the Indian Test team, he will have additional pressure of captaincy along with batting. In the absence of experienced players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Gill will have to unite the team and make it perform well. His success as a captain will largely depend on the runs coming out of his bat.
The upcoming England series will prove to be a big test for Shubman Gill. He will have to improve his technique, especially to face swing and seam taking balls. It will be very important for him to play long innings with patience and concentration. He has done well under the captaincy of Gujarat Titans in the IPL, but Test cricket is a different challenge.
Indian fans are hoping that Gill will be able to improve his poor record on English soil and lead the team to victory in both the roles as captain and batsman. It will be interesting to see if Shubman Gill is able to take his batting to a new level in the uncertain conditions of England and consolidate his place as a reliable Test batsman for India. This tour will be important not only for his career but also for the future of Indian Test cricket.
