Shubman Gill scored a remarkable 754 runs in five Tests in England, registering four centuries.<\/a> Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh praised the young batsman\u2019s stellar performance during his debut series as India\u2019s Test captain. After victories at Edgbaston and The Oval, India drew the five-match series 2-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trailing 1-2 at one stage, the team mounted a strong fight to secure a draw in the fourth Test at Manchester, keeping the series alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yuvraj highlighted that Shubman Gill, who was named ICC Men\u2019s Player of the Month in July 2025, silenced doubts about his ability overseas and led from the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere were many questions about his overseas record. He became captain and scored four Test hundreds. It\u2019s unbelievable how Shubman Gill took responsibility when given the chance,\u201d Yuvraj told ICC Digital during the \u201850 Days To Go\u2019 Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVery proud of him. Even though it\u2019s a drawn series, it feels like a win for us because it\u2019s a young team. Performing in England and proving yourself is never easy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across 10 innings, Shubman Gill scored 754 runs at an average of 75.40, including twin hundreds of 269 and 169 in the Edgbaston Test. Shubman Gill became only the second Indian captain, after Virat Kohli, to score a double century abroad and the first to do so in England. His tally is also the highest by an Indian batsman-captain in an English Test series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shubman Gill: \u201cWashington and Jadeja\u2019s centuries were the turning point\u201d \u2013 Yuvraj Singh on India\u2019s England series triumph<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yuvraj Singh lauded the remarkable partnership between all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar<\/a>, highlighting their resilience and crucial contributions that helped India secure a draw in Manchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe defining moment of the series was India drawing the Test match. It\u2019s rare to see Washington and Jadeja score centuries and play such a pivotal role in saving a Test. That says a lot. Jadeja has been a mainstay for years, but seeing a young player like Washington Sundar step up and deliver was incredible,\u201d Yuvraj said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with the absence of veterans Virat Kohli<\/a> and Rohit Sharma, who had retired from Test cricket just before the squad announcement, Yuvraj praised the team\u2019s grit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGoing to England with a young squad comes with immense pressure. Filling the shoes of players like Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma is never easy, but the team faced it head-on,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
