2nd Test: Shubman Gill Sets New Record For Highest Test Score By An Indian Captain At Edgbaston
With Ravindra Jadeja: Shubman Gill has etched his name into the history books with a remarkable innings at Edgbaston, Birmingham, rewriting records previously held by Indian greats. On Day 2 of the second Test against England, Gill surpassed Virat Kohli’s seven-year-old record for the highest Test score by an Indian captain at the venue. Kohli’s 149, scored during the 2018 Test at Edgbaston, was regarded as one of the finest knocks by an Indian captain on English soil. But Gill, with his unbeaten 168, has now set a new benchmark.
Gill’s innings is a continuation of his outstanding form in the series. Having taken over as India’s Test captain following Rohit Sharma’s retirement from the format, the 25-year-old has embraced the responsibility with composure and class.
After beginning the series with a brilliant 147 at Headingley—though India fell short in that match—Gill has followed it up with another commanding performance. His century at Edgbaston made him only the fifth Indian batter to score a Test hundred at the venue, joining the elite company of Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Sachin Tendulkar, and Ravindra Jadeja.
