The opening match of the two-Test series between India and West Indies is today, October 2, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The game will commence at 9:30 am IST. India's Test skipper Shubman Gill is not just captaining the side but also inches away from a record-breaking world record in Test cricket. Shubman Gill's Golden Form in Test Cricket Shubman Gill has been in fantastic touch in his recent 10 Test innings. He has scored 754 runs in 5 games at a staggering average of 75.40. In the period, Gill has shattered 4 centuries, including a double century, with a best effort of 269 runs. All these runs have come while he was leading the team, which adds to his glory. Now, Gill can match the world record of the great Don Bradman. If Shubman Gill scores a minimum of 246 runs in the Ahmedabad Test's first innings, he will become the joint-fastest player to achieve 1000 Test runs as a captain. "Shubman Gill to match Don Bradman's world record" has now become the series opener's biggest talking point.

Bradman reached this in only 11 innings. Shubman Gill has currently scored 754 runs in 10 innings as a captain. If he achieves the mark in this Test, his name will be placed beside Bradman's in cricketing history. Gill's reliability and capability to score massive runs have already established him as one of the most discussed young captains of world cricket. A solid performance in Ahmedabad would make his name ring through world cricket. Opportunity to Shatter Rishabh Pant's WTC Record Besides matching Don Bradman's record, Shubman Gill also stands an opportunity to create another record. In the World Test Championship (WTC), Gill has made 2647 runs in 37 matches for India. For the time being, Rishabh Pant tops the list with 2731 runs in 38 matches. As Pant has been ruled out of the series because of a foot injury, Gill requires 85 runs to overtake him and become India's top run-getter in WTC history. This makes the first Test against West Indies all the more special for Gill. Not only is he pursuing Bradman's world record, but he can also re-write India's record books in the WTC.
