Indian cricket team’s young star batsman Shubman Gill has made a new record in the second Test match against England at Edgbaston. He played two amazing innings in the match. In the first innings, he scored a double century (200+ runs) and in the second innings, he scored another century (100+ runs).
This is a big achievement in Test cricket. Gill has now become only the ninth batsman in the world to score a double century and a century in the same Test match. He is also the first Indian batsman to do this. This record shows his talent and strong focus during long matches.
First Innings: Gill’s Double Century
In India’s first innings, Shubman Gill came to bat after the early wicket of Rohit Sharma. He played with confidence and controlled the innings. He hit 20 fours and 5 sixes to reach his double hundred. He stayed on the pitch for many hours and faced more than 300 balls.
His partnership with Rajat Patidar and Rishabh Pant helped India put a big total on the scoreboard. Thanks to Gill’s knock, India crossed 450 runs in their first innings.
Second Innings: Another Century
In the second innings, Gill once again played an important role. India needed quick runs to increase the lead. He came in to bat with an attacking mindset. He completed his second century of the match in fewer balls than the first. This century helped India declare their innings with a big lead over England.
