India vs England 3rd Test at Lord’s: Major Records Set to Be Broken
India vs England 3rd Test at Lord’s: Milestones to Watch Out For
India’s ongoing stint of England is hotting up as the series heads to the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. After England took an early lead with a dominant performance, India bounced back strong to position the series. With the instigation split, the third Test promises fireworks, and several players are on the cusp of immortalizing their names in cricketing myth.
Let’s break down the biggest records that could be shattered at Lord’s in the India vs England 3rd Test.
Shubman Gill Set to Surpass Rahul Dravid’s Legendary Record
Rahul Dravid’s 602 runs on India’s 2011 tour of England was something to remember. Now, Shubman Gill, the current captain of India’s Test team, is about to eclipse that historic mark. Gill has already scored 585 runs in the series, and with just 18 more to match Dravid’s tally, Gill will set the record for an Indian’s highest runs scored in a single Test series in England at the Home of Cricket.
If he pulls it off, Gill will become the highest run-scorer for India in a single Test series in England.

Gill Could Edge Past Kohli in Test Centuries vs England
Shubman Gill’s blistering form now sees him on the verge of passing Virat Kohli for another major stat. Both batters currently have 5 Test centuries vs England.
Should Gill score another hundred at Lord’s, he will:
- Move to 6 Test tons vs England
- Surpass Kohli
- Join Mohammad Azharuddin in second place on the all-time Indian century-makers against England
This chase for legacy is not just a stat war—it’s a generational baton pass.

Joe Root Eyes an Unmatched 4000 Runs in IND vs ENG Rivalry
Joe Root is already the most prolific run scorer across all formats in India vs England matches, and he is now set to ascend to a completely different level.
With 3967 runs, Root requires only 33 more for him to become:
- The first player in all India-England internationals to reach 4000 runs
- One of the symbols for growing consistency in one of the fiercest rivalries in cricket
Can he unlock that achievement under pressure at Lord’s? We will all be watching him.
Yashasvi Jaiswal on the Brink of Joining Elite Company
Young gun Yashasvi Jaiswal has already wowed critics and fans alike. He has 3 Test centuries against England as an opener, one more will make him part of legendary names.
With one more hundred, Jaiswal will tie:
- Sunil Gavaskar
- KL Rahul
- Rohit Sharma
All with 4 Test tons against England as openers.
This makes him, with a fourth hundred, the joint-most in terms of centuries as an Indian opener v England—that would be an incredible feat for such a young star.
India vs England 3rd test has long been viewed as one of the most exciting rivalries the sport of cricket has and there is plenty of individual glory and iconic records tied to this Lord’s Test. Gill chasing Dravid’s ghost, Root rewriting Indo-England history, Jaiswal breaking into the record books – there is something for everyone here and a guaranteed classic for the fans.
So don’t miss a ball. This one may well be written down in cricket folklore!
