Shubman Gill, the young captain of the Indian cricket team, finally showed what his fans were waiting for a long time. Batting brilliantly in the Edgbaston Test, he scored the first double century of Test career and registered his name in history. Earlier, Gill scored a century as captain in the first innings of the Leeds Test, but his innings in Edgbaston was even more special.
With this double century, Gill has become the first Indian captain to score a double century in England. Not only this, he has also become the youngest Indian player to score a double century on the soil of England. Before that only Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid did this feat. Gill has now become the first Indian to score a double century in Edgbaston.
Gill is the first Indian captain who has scored more than 300 runs in the foreign Test series before the age of 25. This achievement one of the most talented players of modern Test cricket.
Gill’s innings was a great mix of technology, patience and aggression. He also attacked the spot while playing with restraint. During this innings, he had half -century partnerships with Karun Nair and Rishabh Pant, while Rabindra Jadeja shared more than 200 runs.
When Shubman Gill visited England, the critics used to say that he could not score a century abroad. But a century in Leeds and now in Edgbaston, he proved that he can score runs in every situation and become the backbone of the Indian team in future.
