Stats Highest Test match aggregate for a batter

Shubman Gillcarved his name into cricketing folklore with record knocks of 269 off 387 and 161 off 162 in the the second Test of the ongoing five-match series between England and India. He shattered a whole lot of records with one of the greatest displays of batting in the longest format of the game.

Gill aggregated 430 runs at Edgbaston, taking him to the second place in the list for the highest Test match aggregates for a batter. Gill is also the only Indian to be present in the top five of the esteemed list consisting of some of world cricket’s finest batters.

Highest Test match aggregates for a batter (as of July 5, 2025):

Player Opposition Venue Year Individual Scores Aggregate Score
Graham Gooch India Lord’s 1990 333, 123 456
Shubman Gill England Edgbaston 2025 269, 161 430
Mark Taylor Pakistan Peshawar 1998 334*, 92 426
Kumar Sangakkara Bangladesh Chattogram 2014 319, 105 424
Brian Lara England St John’s 2004 400, DNB 400

 

India declared on 427/6 in 83 overs, a couple of overs after Gill departed, setting a whopping 608-run target for the hosts with a little over three sessions left in the Test. The Gill-led unit has given themselves a proper shot to levelling the series after going down by five wickets in the series opener at Headingley.

Gill’s 430-run compilation had 43 fours and 11 sixes, adding to 238 runs only from boundaries, which is another record as it amounts to more than 55% of his match aggregate.

After getting to his 150 in India’s second innings, Gill also became only the second batter to register 150-plus scores in both innings of a Test match after the great Allan Border (150* & 153) against Pakistan in Lahore in 1980.
