The Shubman Gill-led Indian men’s cricket team is breaking records for fun in the ongoing five-match Test series against the English team in England. In five matches, six Indian batters scored 12 centuries and helped the visitors score a total of 3809 runs. The total of 3809 runs by India in the 2025 edition of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is the most by any team in a five-match Test series.
Only once (Australia) has a team managed to score more than 3809 runs in a Test series. The feat was achieved by the Australian team in 1989. During the 1989 Ashes series, the Australian team played six matches in England and scored a total of 3877 runs.
