Shubman Gill Becomes First Asian Captain To Achieve This Rare Feat After Double Hundred vs England at Edgbaston

Disha Asrani

Gill made 269 runs before Josh Tongue took his wicket.

Shubman Gill, the new skipper of India, celebrates his centuries in a special way. It begins with a Virat Kohli-esque run, a jump, a roar, and a bow, before declaring himself as the Prince of Indian Cricket. The new captain is making a habit of his celebrations with back-to-back hundreds in England. Today, at Edgbaston, he has repeated the feat to become the first Asian skipper to score a Test double hundred on English soil and across SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) countries.

Until today, Sri Lanka’s Tillakaratne Dilshan held the record for making 193 at Lord’s in 2011. For India, the best stood at 192 against New Zealand in Auckland in 1990 by Mohammad Azharuddin. In the same year, Azhar made 179 in Manchester until Gill rewrote history

Shubman Gill Announces Himself as the Prince of Indian Cricket

Coming into this England tour as a young captain, the 25-year-old was heavily criticised for his low average of 26 on English soil. But he played a captain’s knock, staying on the crease while the wickets on the other end continued to fall.

India was down to 95/2 when Gill walked in to bat at No.4. His partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal added 66 more before the latter missed his century by 13 runs. Gill’s major supporter from the other end was veteran Ravindra Jadeja. The duo added 203 runs from 279 balls. Jadeja scored a well-crafted 89 before being dismissed, narrowly missing out on what would have been his second century at Edgbaston. It would have made him the first Indian to register multiple Test centuries at this venue. Washington Sundar, who was not a part of the first Test, amassed 42 runs, leading to a 144-run partnership with the skipper.

In a match where even reaching 400 had seemed uncertain for India, the scoreboard read 574/8 when Gill was dismissed by Josh Tongue. It was another short ball from the bowler, and Gill went for the pull. But he mistimed it, dragging it off the inside edge straight to Ollie Pope at square leg.

Gill’s knock of 269 was laced with 30 boundaries and three maximums. India were finally all out at 587, setting a mammoth challenge for the hosts.

After making 147 runs on his captaincy debut, Gill continued his stellar form with a double century. It’s also the first time he has crossed the 150-run mark. Once Gill reached the angelic figure of 222 runs, he became India’s highest-ever individual scorer in Tests on English soil. In the process, he surpassed legends like Sunil Gavaskar (221), Rahul Dravid (217), and Sachin Tendulkar (193).

Gill achieved another rare milestone, becoming the first Indian batter in 23 years to score more than 150 runs in a Test on English soil. The last to do so was Dravid, who famously scored 217 at The Oval back in 2002.

Today’s innings also saw Gill eclipse another legend. He has now scored more runs in an overseas series as captain than Tendulkar managed at the same age. With 323 unbeaten runs in the series, he has already gone past Tendulkar’s total of 290 from the 1997 tour of Sri Lanka.
