Singham of Birmingham … Shubman Gill played 269 runs, Virat Kohli’s record in England, Dhoni also missed behind

New Delhi. Shubman Gill, captain of the Indian cricket team, has created history in the Test being played at Edgbaston, Birmingham. He became the Indian captain playing the biggest Test innings in Edgbaston. He has broken the 7 -year -old record of Virat Kohli. Virat scored 254 runs in 2018. With the captaincy of the Test, Shubman Gill has appeared in a completely different and excellent style in this format. He scored 147 runs in the first innings of the first Test played in Hendigley. In the second Test being played against England in Edgbaston, Shubman not only scored the first double century of his career, but has made a record of the highest score made by an Indian captain on this ground. As soon as Gill arrived at 150, he broke the record of 149 runs scored seven years ago on this ground of Virat Kohli.

Shubman Gill has also become the second Indian captain to score more than 150 runs in England. In 1990, Mohammad Azharuddin scored 179 runs in Manchester. Shubman Gill has become the fifth Indian batsman, whose name has been recorded in Edgbaston. Prior to Gill, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja have scored centuries on this ground.

Jadeja was close to scoring a century in this Test but lost his wicket on a score of 89. Shubman Gill decided to play third in the Test after Cheteshwar Pujara dropped from the team. But he was not successful at this place. After his retirement from Rohit Sharma’s Test, Gill replaced him as a captain. At the same time, after retiring from Virat’s test, he is coming down to bat at number four in his place. In three innings so far on this sequence, he has scored two centuries, including a double century. The best score of the captain MS Dhoni was 224 runs in Tests.

The Indian team scored 587 runs in the first innings with the help of captain Shubman Gill’s 269, Ravindra Jadeja’s 89 and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 87 runs. Gill was dismissed on a score of 269 runs, a few minutes after the third session started. Gill hit three sixes and 30 fours in the 387 ball innings.
