1. Double Trouble: Both Gill and Rahul Cross 500 Runs in the Series
Yaar, iss level pe consistency dekh kar toh Sunil Gavaskar bhi proud honge. Shubman Gill (697 runs, two centuries, and a double ton) and KL Rahul (508 runs, one century) both crossed the 500-run mark in the same away Test series, something no Indian duo had done since Gavaskar and Sardesai told England “not today” in 1970-71. It’s the kinda stat you read twice just to confirm it’s real!
2. Shubman Gill’s Record-Breaking Innings at Edgbaston
Arey bhai, agar cricket mein Mount Everest hai, toh Gill ne Edgbaston pe chadhai kar li!

Only four other players in Test history have ever pulled off a 400+ match haul. Legend status: unlocked.
