Shubman Gill Aims To Break Virat Kohli's Elusive Milestones In Upcoming Matches

With his blitz form at the start of the 2025-2027 cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC), it is expected that Shubman Gill will break Virat Kohli's milestones in the upcoming days.

Virat Kohli holds the most Test hundreds smashed by an Indian in SENA countries, with seven tons. Even though Shubman Gill now has three centuries in SENA countries. But with his current form, the Indian captain is just a few matches away from breaking Kohli's record.

Shubman Gill also aims to shatter Virat Kohli's record of most Test centuries in a Test calendar year. In the 2017-2018 season, Kohli smashed five centuries. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill has hammered two centuries as of now after playing the first two matches of the five-game series against England.
