Shubman Gill emerged as the highest run-getter of the series with 754 runs, which is the most by an Indian skipper in a Test series. His tally is also the highest in any India vs England series. Gill also became the first player to hit four centuries in his debut Test series as captain and now holds the record of being the only Asian captain with a double century in a SENA country
India scored a total of 3809 runs — the highest by any team in a series comprising five or fewer matches. In fact, the only time a team has scored more runs in a series was when Australia made 3877 runs in the 1989 Ashes in England, comprising six matches
India amassed a total of 12 individual centuries in the series (Gill: 4, KL Rahul: 2, Yashasvi Jaiswal: 2, Rishabh Pant: 2, Ravindra Jadeja: 1, Washington Sundar: 1) — the joint-most alongside Australia, Pakistan and South Africa
