Shubman Gill 3,000 Test Runs: Shubman Gill added another major achievement to his Test career by reaching 3,000 runs during the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo. The India captain's latest landmark places him among an elite group of Indian batsmen who have reached the mark at a young age. Gill completed the milestone at 26 years and 349 days, making him the fourth-youngest Indian to score 3,000 Test runs. This is his 43rd Test, with his tally moving just over 3,000 runs from 77 innings at an average of 43.53.

Shubman Gill Enters Elite Company At 26

Sachin Tendulkar remains comfortably ahead as the youngest Indian to reach 3,000 Test runs. The legendary batsman achieved the feat at just 23 years and 228 days.

Sehwag reached the milestone at 26 years and 157 days, while Vengsarkar did so at 26 years and 263 days.

Shubman Gill's achievement came 86 days later than Vengsarkar's, putting him fourth on the list.

Interestingly, Kapil Dev was only seven days older than Gill when he reached 3,000 Test runs, completing the feat at 26 years and 356 days.

Gill Reaches Landmark In 43rd Test

Shubman Gill's Test record already includes 11 centuries and eight half-centuries, with his highest score standing at 269.

His progress has been particularly notable since establishing himself as one of India's leading red-ball batsmen.

By joining the 3,000-run club, Gill has also moved another step closer to the country's most prolific Test run-scorers.

Tendulkar leads India's all-time list with 15,921 runs, followed by Rahul Dravid with 13,265 and Sunil Gavaskar with 10,122.

Virat Kohli, now retired from the format, occupies fourth place with 9,230 runs, while VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag have also crossed 8,000 Test runs.

Gill currently sits 28th among India's Test run-getters, but with plenty of cricket still ahead of him, can easily rise up the ranks in the coming years.
