Gill Scripts Milestone, Becomes Fourth-youngest Indian To 3000 Test Runs
Sinhalese Sports Club: India Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill on Sunday completed his 3000 runs in Test cricket during the first day of the second Test against Sri Lanka at the Sinhalese Sports Club here. Gill has become the fourth-youngest Indian player to reach the milestone as he continues his rise in the format.
Coming into the second Test, Gill needed only seven runs to reach the milestone after falling short of it in the series opener in Galle. The skipper completed his 3000 runs when he hit a boundary off an outside edge in the 23rd over of the first session off Keshara Nuwantha. At 26y and 349d, Gill has become the fourth youngest Indian ever to reach the milestone. The list is led by legendary former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar (23y 228d), while Virender Sehwag (26y 157d) and Dilip Vengsarkar (26y 263d) follow him on second and third, respectively.
Gill went past legend and former skipper Kapil Dev on this list. Kapil was 26 years and 356 days old when he completed his 3000 runs in the longest international format.
