Both Indian and English batsmen scored a lot of runs during the five-match series, which finished in a thrilling 2-2 draw. In this article, we are going to learn about the top 5 batsmen who scored the most runs in the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy 2025.
1. Shubman Gill (India) 754 Runs
First on the list is India's newly-appointed Test captain, Shubman Gill. Finishing the series with 754 runs at an average of over 75, Gill was a batsman at a different level in this series. He scored a total of four centuries in the series, joining the ranks of legends like Don Bradman and Sunil Gavaskar to score four centuries in a single series as a captain. He also surpassed Graham Gooch's long-standing record for most runs in an India-England Test series, further cementing his status as a modern-day great. His 269-run innings in this series will be remembered for centuries. Thanks to his innings, India managed to win a Test match in Birmingham for the first time in cricket history.
2. Joe Root (England) 537 Runs
England legend Joe Root was the second-highest run-scorer in the series with 537 runs. Root's consistency and ability to counter the Indian bowling attack were on full display, as he scored three centuries and a half-century. His remarkable series performance made him the first player to score 6,000 runs in the World Test Championship and also set a new record for most domestic Test centuries by an English batsman.
3. KL Rahul (India) 532 Runs
Indian opener KL Rahul is 3rd in the list, who scored 532 runs. Rahul provided a strong base for the Indian team by scoring two centuries and two half-centuries. His best cricket score of the series was 137 runs, which he scored in the Headingley Test. He faced the second most 1066 balls in the series, after Shubman Gill (1150). His ability to absorb pressure and build long partnerships was a key factor in India's strong batting performance. Rahul's series was a testament to his experience and improving temperament in the red-ball format.
4. Ravindra Jadeja (India) 516 Runs
India's all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja performed brilliantly with the bat, scoring 516 runs, including a century and 5 half-centuries. He often batted lower down the order.

His performance was marked by his aggressive but controlled batting, scoring crucial runs for India down the order.
5. Harry Brook (England) 481 Runs
England's middle-order batsman Harry Brook is the 5th in this list, who scored 481 runs. Brook's aggressive and fearless batting approach was a key feature of England's "bazaarball" philosophy.
