Since taking the reins of the Indian cricket team, Gill's individual batting performance in Tests was impressive until the two-match series against Sri Lanka. The batter, who had a couple of centuries in four innings ahead of the series, ended the Tests in Galle and Colombo in an underwhelming way. Still, as the No. 4 batter in the longest format of the game, the India skipper secures a record.
The first Test brought some valuable experience for Shubman Gill, which he executed well in the second innings, which was in Colombo. The Island nation is known for it spin friendly surfaces. Whether it was Galle or Colombo, spinners got assistance from the surfaces. In the first innings of the second match against Sri Lanka, Gill returned after securing a half-century.
