A new chapter has been written in Indian Test cricket! Shubman Gill has made such a blast with his bat, which will be remembered for a long time. In the Edgbaston Test, Gill not only strengthened the team by scoring the first double century of his career, but also broke the 26 -year -old record of great batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
Gill played a historic innings of 269 runs off 387 balls, in which he hit 30 fours and 3 sixes. After this performance, only one name is echoing in the cricket world – Shubman Gill.
Sachin’s record broken: Now the youngest Indian captain Gill
Shubman Gill has created history by scoring a double century in Test cricket as an Indian captain at the age of 25 years 298 days. Earlier this record was in the name of Sachin Tendulkar, who scored a double century against New Zealand in 1999 in Ahmedabad.
Gill not only broke a record, but also defeated the old record from his age – which is a great proof of his talent and maturity.
Dual centuries in Tests by the youngest Indian captains:
23 years 39 days – Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi vs England (1964)
Virat Kohli: The king of Test captaincy
While Shubman Gill is making a new beginning, Virat Kohli’s record is also amazing. Virat as Test captain:
Play 68 Test matches
Scored 5864 runs
20 centuries and 7 double centuries scored
Highest score: 254 not out
Average: 54.80
Virat Kohli is one of the most successful captains of India in Test history and his criteria are now in front of Shubman Gill.
Gill’s batting order journey: third from number three to fourth
After being out of Cheteshwar Pujara, Gill tried to play at number three, but he was not successful.
After Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retirement, Gill took the captaincy first and then started landing at number four.
On this position, he so far has two centuries in three innings, including a double century – ie Gill is seen fully fit in this new role.
