Second-most runs in a Test ever: India captain wins Wisden Trophy for 2026’s outstanding individual Test performance

The Wisden Trophy is awarded every year to the cricketer who has produced the outstanding Test performance of the previous 12 months. Shubman Gill has won the Wisden Trophy in 2025, for his 269 and 161 against England at Edgbaston. George Dobell's piece on Gill's performance originally appeared in the 2026 edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.
