Something disappointing happened during the IND vs ENG 5th Test match today. Shubman Gill’s run out after the rain break shocked all Indian cricket fans. The young captain made a silly mistake that cost his team dearly.
Rain stopped the cricket match when India scored 85 runs for 3 wickets. Players went back to the dressing room for an early tea break. When play started again, Gill looked ready to score more runs.
However, the captain made a poor decision in the 28th over, unfortunately. He tried to take a single run that was clearly not possible. The English fielders quickly ran him out for just 21 runs.
Gill was playing well with his batting partner, Sai Sudharsan, before this mistake. They had built a solid partnership of 34 runs together nicely. This run-out broke their good partnership and hurt India’s batting momentum.
Gill’s Batting Records
Despite Shubman Gill’s run out mistake, he achieved something really special this series. The captain broke Sunil Gavaskar’s old record for most runs by Indians. Gill scored 737 runs in this England tour, which amazed everyone.

He now has a chance to break Gavaskar’s all-time Indian record completely. Gavaskar scored 774 runs in a bilateral series many years ago. Gill needs just 37 more runs to create cricket history forever.
The young captain averages 92.12 runs across nine innings this tour impressively. He scored four centuries during the IND vs ENG 5th Test series. These numbers prove Gill plays batting at the highest level consistently.
Impact on Team Performance
Shubman Gill’s run out happened at a very bad time for India. The team needed their captain to score big runs today. His dismissal put extra pressure on other batsmen to perform well.

This marks Gill’s second run-out in Test cricket matches, unfortunately, now. He got run out against England in Rajkot last year, too. The captain must learn to make better running decisions between wickets.
Rain breaks often affect players’ concentration levels during important cricket matches. Gill seemed to lose focus after returning from the lunch break.
