Shubman Gill etched his name in the history books with a remarkable performance on Day 4 of the 2nd Test at Edgbaston, becoming only the second Indian after Sunil Gavaskar to score a double century and a century in the same Test match. His brilliance with the bat has put England in deep trouble as they face an uphill battle heading into the final day.
Gill’s composed and elegant century in the second innings followed his masterful double ton earlier, showcasing maturity and class well beyond his years. He dominated England’s bowling attack with precision, leaving the hosts frustrated and fatigued.
England’s response with the bat faltered as Indian bowlers capitalized on the deteriorating pitch. By stumps on Day 4, England had lost key wickets, including Joe Root and Ben Stokes, and still required a significant number of runs to avoid defeat. The relentless pressure applied by India’s pace and spin duo kept the home side on the defensive.
As Day 5 looms, India stand on the brink of a historic victory, thanks largely to Gill’s record-setting performance. Fans and pundits alike are already hailing this Test as a defining moment in the young star’s career—and a powerful reminder of India’s rising dominance in world cricket.
