    Gill's Masterclass In Edgbaston Breaks Flurry Of Records, Leapfrogs Sachin And Kohli

    New Delhi: Shubman Gill's batting masterclass in the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy made the India skipper break a flurry of records, overtaking the greats like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.

    India beat England by 336 runs to get their first-ever Test match win at Edgbaston, a venue where they had not won a Test before. This win in Birmingham was also India’s biggest away Test win in terms of runs and also Gill's maiden as a Test captain. He was super with a bat, hitting 269 and 161 for a total record of 430 runs, the second most runs in a single Test, just 26 behind Graham Gooch (456), which he, coincidentally, hit against India in 1990.

    His 269 in the first innings at Edgbaston was the highest individual Test score for an Indian batter in England. He also achieved the feat of the highest score by an India captain in Tests, surpassing Kohli's unbeaten 254 against South Africa in Pune in 2019.
