Days to go

Days To Go: Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh said he was very proud of his mentee Shubman Gill showcasing a rich vein of form while leading the side to a memorable 2-2 drawn Test series against England.

Gill silenced doubters over his poor overseas Test record by becoming the leading run scorer in the series against England by amassing a whopping 754 runs in 10 innings at an average of 75.40, including hitting four centuries and was eventually adjudged as India’s Player of the Series by England head coach Brendon McCullum.

He was also named the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award winner for July 2025. “There were a lot of question marks over his overseas record. The guy became the captain and scored four Test hundreds. It's just unbelievable that when you're given responsibility, how you take it,” Yuvraj said to ICC Digital on the sidelines of the ‘50 Days To Go’ Women’s Cricket World Cup event.
