The amazing thing is that in the last Test to be played against England at the Oval, Shubman Gill can be seen surpassing Don Bradman not once but 4 times. Let's know how this amazing feat will happen.

Don Bradman's record is intact for 95 years

While the record of scoring the most 974 runs in a series in the history of Test cricket is held by Australia's Don Bradman. He made this record in the Ashes series played on England's soil in the year 1930. Shubman Gill is 253 runs away from breaking this record that has been standing for 95 years. He can do this feat in the last Test of the current series against England. If Shubman Gill does this, then he will be seen breaking Don Bradman's record a total of 4 times in the Oval Test.

Shubman Gill will break Bradman's record 4 times!

974 runs are the most runs ever scored by a batsman in a Test series. Don Bradman had scored these runs but before he can break that record, Shubman Gill will have to face 3 more such mountains of runs from Don Bradman. Don Bradman had scored 758 runs in the Ashes series played in 1934. Before this, when South Africa's team came to Australia in 1931-32, Don Bradman had scored 806 runs in it.

Then when England's team came to Australia to play the Ashes in 1936-37, Don Bradman had scored 810 runs in 9 innings of 5 Tests in that series.

Cricket fans around the world would also like to see him do the same. But, when he is doing this, he will also be breaking 3 more records of Don Bradman. Meaning, in the last Test to be played against England at the Oval, he will play only 2 innings but he can be seen breaking Bradman's record of runs 4 times.

Gill in the Test series against England

Shubman Gill has currently scored 722 runs in 8 innings of 4 Tests at an average of 90.25, which includes 4 centuries. If his remaining 4 innings were not dull, he would have been closer to breaking Bradman's world record of 974 runs. But, there is still a chance.

Summary

It will be interesting to see how many times he leaves behind Bradman, who is 4 times ahead of him in the race for most runs in a Test series. He breaks the 95-year-old world record by doing this one, two, three or 4 times.
