Better series – Sunil Gavaskar 1971 West Indies vs Shubhman Gill 2025 England

[Johan]

Two of the highest scoring serieses from Indian bats away from home. Gavaskar made 774 runs in 8 innings and averaged 154, making 4 hundreds. Shubhman Gill in England has made 722 runs in 8 innings, averaging 90 and have made 4 hundreds. It's very likely he'll go past Gavaskar, 4 matches vs 5 matches, he has another left for the Oval but after an equal amount of innings, who did better?

Let’s see if India draws the match. Results matter in this equation.

On result fronts, even if India draws this Series it can't nearly be as impressive as winning the first away series not in NZ

Yeah.

Voted Gill anyway for recency bias.

grant you that. It’s hard to go past Gavaskar (who I probably dislike the way you dislike Gill). No one is writing a calypso about Gill.

Gill's series is equal to Bumrah's BGT

Tbf my dislike for Gill is largely irrational while you have enough reasons to not like Gavaskar

mid batting lineup, lively green pitches – Bumrah takes 33 wickets

Smith, Khawaja, Head, Labuschagne vs cArse, Woakes, Stokes, Tongue, BASHIR

Bazball pitches have saved Gills career

The main reason I dislike is he was BFFs with my old boss and they rivaled each other in their pretentiousness. Totally irrational.
