#3 Third Indian captain to win multiple Tests in England

While several Indian captains have won a Test in England in the past, only two Indian captains have done it multiple times to date. Kapil Dev and Virat Kohli are the only two Indian captains with multiple Test wins in England.

India beat England 2-0 in the Test series in 1986 in England under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. Virat Kohli is the only Indian captain with three Test wins in England, with victories in 2018 at Trent Bridge and in 2021 at Lord's and The Oval. Shubman Gill can join this elite list and become only the third Indian captain to win multiple Tests in England. Moreover, a win at Lord's will make him only the fourth Indian captain with a Test win at the venue.
