Shubman Gill's record-breaking 754-run tour of England as a captain had a lot of fans and experts turn their heads and applaud him for the effort that led India to a 2-2 series draw.
Following the success of the tour, Gill's jersey from the Lord's Test was in high demand at the seventh annual Red For Ruth auction, which raised funds for the Ruth Strauss Foundation.
Heading into the Lord's game, India's new Test captain was coming in supreme form, scoring 3 centuries in the previous 4 innings, including a 269, and as expected, his match jersey went for a significant price in the auction.
