Indian team captain Shubman Gill has so far batted strongly in the Test series against England. Shubman Gill scored a century in the first Test, after which he scored 269 runs in the first innings of the second Test. Stuart Broad has given a big statement about Gill’s innings. He has said that when Shubman scored 269 runs, it seemed that he would break Lara’s record. Brian Lara holds the record for the biggest innings in Test cricket, he has played an innings of 400 runs.
Broad praised Gill
On for the Love of Cricket Podcast, Stuart Broad said that I feel that Team India should get 10 out of 10. Sometimes in Test match cricket, the result becomes unilateral. At this time, India performed amazing against England. During Shubman Gill’s 269 runs, it seemed that he would break Lara’s record. He was batting very fast and it was not felt that he was having any problem. Gill has played the role of the opener for a long time and then he started batting at number four. After Kohli’s retirement, he also scored a century and also a double century.
Talking about Shubman Gill, he contributed 161 runs for his team in the second innings of the second Test match. The Indian Test captain is still the highest run -scorer in this series. He has scored 585 runs in the four innings of two Tests at an average of 146.25. He has scored a double century and two centuries in this series. In the third Test match to be held at Lord’s, Indian fans will expect a big innings from them.
What did Broad say about England team?
The former player further said, ‘England should have drawn the second Test. Due to rain, he had to play only 80 overs. I think the English team will be disappointed that it could not show a strong performance in the second Test. There was not much on this pitch. The team will be disappointed that they did not play a little defensive cricket.
