3 records Shubman Gill can break in Sri Lanka Test series
Shubman Gill enters the Sri Lanka Test series with a chance to rewrite the record books as Indian captain.
2. Overtake Sachin Tendulkar's record for most Test centuries as Indian captain
Sachin Tendulkar finished his international career with seven Test centuries as captain of the Indian team. Gill currently has six centuries as Test captain and needs just two more in the Sri Lanka series to surpass that mark. Virat Kohli holds the record for scoring the most Test centuries as India captain (20).
Gill's century-scoring rate as captain has been remarkable. During the 2025 England series, he became the first batter in Test history to score four hundreds in a debut Test series as captain. Five other captains, including Don Bradman and Virat Kohli, had managed three each. Scoring two more centuries in Sri Lanka would take his captain tally to eight, moving him past Tendulkar's record of seven.
