In the world of Test cricket, Shubman Gill is making some serious noise. The new Indian captain is not just leading the team; he's leading from the front with his bat. His fantastic form in the current World Test Championship (WTC) cycle has just taken him past veteran Rohit Sharma to become India's leading run-scorer.Gill has been in remarkable touch, putting up consistent scores and looking a class apart. In the ongoing WTC cycle, he has already amassed an impressive 804 runs in just six matches, a performance that includes four centuries.This prolific run has pushed him to the top of the charts for India, a spot that was held by the seasoned Rohit Sharma.While becoming the top scorer in the current cycle is a significant milestone, Gill now has his eyes on an even bigger record. He is steadily closing in on Rishabh Pant's all-time record for the most runs scored by an Indian player in the history of the World Test Championship. Pant, known for his game-changing innings, sits at the top with over 2700 runs in his WTC career.With plenty of matches still to be played in this cycle, Gill is not just chasing records but also setting a high standard for his team. His performance is a clear signal of his intent and solidifies his position as the new anchor of India's batting lineup in Test cricket.
