Gill silenced doubters over his poor overseas Test record by becoming the leading run scorer in the series against England by amassing a whopping 754 runs in 10 innings at an average of 75.40, including hitting four centuries and was eventually adjudged as India\u2019s Player of the Series by England head coach Brendon McCullum.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He was also named the ICC Men\u2019s Player of the Month award winner for July 2025. \u201cThere were a lot of question marks over his overseas record. The guy became the captain and scored four Test hundreds. It's just unbelievable that when you're given responsibility, how you take it,\u201d Yuvraj said to ICC Digital on the sidelines of the \u201850 Days To Go\u2019 Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Gill, who batted at number four for the first time in Tests during the long series in England, fell just 20 runs shy of legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar's long-standing record for most runs in a Test series by an Indian cricketer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cI think it's just fantastic because I felt when you have a young team going to England, it's a lot of pressure. You're filling the boots of somebody like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, it's not easy. I think the guys took it head-on,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
