Furthermore, the 25-year-old overtook former skipper Virat Kohli to have the best score by an Indian captain. Gill’s knock was also the third-highest individual score by an Indian batter in overseas Tests.
However, despite his flamboyant knock, the youngster had to face sharp criticism from his father, Lakhwinder Gill.
Speaking in a video released by BCCI on their official Instagram handle, Gill revealed that although his father praised the knock, he also kept him humbled.
“It means a lot coming from him. But he did also tell me that I missed my triple century. Hopefully, we’ll end this match on a great note.
He also added, “This message means a lot to me. I think, growing up, I played almost all of my cricket for my dad, in the sense that it was because of him that I started playing. And the only person besides him is my best friend, whom I practised with. These are the only two people, when it comes to my cricket, that I care about and that I listen to.”

Speaking about the match, Gill’s masterclass along with decisive knocks from Yashasvi Jaiswal (87), Ravindra Jadeja (89), and Washington Sundar (42), helped India post a big total of 587.
The Indian bowlers also delivered the goods by taking three wickets before the end of play on Day 2. A double blow by Mohammed Siraj early on Day 3 reduced England to 84 for 5.
However, an unbeaten 200-plus partnership between Jamie Smith and Harry Brook for the sixth wicket has put the hosts back in the contest.
