Shubman Gill’s start as the new captain of the Indian Test team is getting ‘auspicious’ with every match. The young Indian captain and star batsman, who scored a century as captain in the Leeds Test, brought it to a new point in Edgbaston. In the second match of the Test series, captain Gill did what no one could do before in Indian cricket. On Edgbaston’s ground, Shubman Gill converted a century scored on the first day of the match to a memorable double century and created history. During this time, Gill also became the biggest innings batsman in Test cricket as an Indian captain and he broke the record of Virat Kohli, his ideal in this matter.

History scored by scoring a double century in England

The second match of the Test series started from July 2 at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. Captain Gill scored a brilliant century on the very first day of the match here like the first Test match played in Leeds. But in the last match, where Gill was dismissed for 147 runs, this time the Indian captain completed the host of the occasion in Edgbaston and scored his first double century in Test cricket. With this, he became the first captain of Asia and the third Indian batsman to score a double century on England’s land.

Kohli’s 4 records broke one by one

1. But the most important thing is that during this innings, Gill broke 4 special records of his hero and former Indian captain Virat Kohli during this innings. As soon as Gill touched the 150 -run figure, he became the biggest score batsman on this ground. Earlier this record was in the name of Kohli, who scored 149 runs in 2018 on the grounds of Edgbaston.
2. During this time, Gill not only broke Kohli’s record as a batsman, but also won the record of playing the biggest innings as an Indian captain in England. Kohli’s 149 -run innings came as captain. In this way Gill also broke that record.
3. Then Gill completed his double century and as soon as he reached beyond 235 runs, he also demolished Kohli’s third record. Now Gill’s record of playing the biggest innings for India as a captain against England has been recorded by Gill. Earlier, Kohli scored 235 runs against England in the Mumbai Test in 2016.
4. Gill did not stop here and then he also broke the record of the biggest score of any Indian batsman as a captain. Once again, he left Kohli behind. Kohli scored 254 (not out) runs against South Africa in 2019. But Gill also left it behind.
