It seems that getting the responsibility of captaincy has also affected the performance of Shubman Gill. Just like 11 years ago Virat Kohli was shown on Kohli. After getting the captaincy in Test cricket, Virat Kohli's bat started to blow fire. Just some of the same wonders are also doing Shubman Gill, who has rained runs in his first series as a captain and has now broken a record of Kohli. In the second match of the Test series against England, Gill set the record for the biggest score of an Indian captain on the grounds of Edgbaston.
Shubman Gill, who was made the captain of Team India before the tour of England, was eyeing everyone. This is because his test record was not very effective. Even on that, he did not have a bat outside Asia and for the last 5 years he had not crossed the 50 mark even once. Especially in England, only 88 runs were scored in 3 Tests with his bat. But in just 3 innings of the series, Gill has now left the mountain of run, leaving behind the old troubles and figures.
Career's biggest score
Indian captain Gill, who made a strong debut of the series by scoring a brilliant century in the Leeds Test, scored a century in the second consecutive Test. Gill, who scored a century on the very first day of the match, continued his fire on the second day and crossed the 150 -run figure in the first session itself. With this, Gill not only made his biggest score in Test cricket, but also broke the record of former captain Virat Kohli. Gill's biggest score earlier was 147 runs, which he made in the last Test itself.
Kohli's 7 -year -old record broke
Then as soon as Gill touched the 150 mark, he also broke Kohli's record. Gill's name has now been recorded as an Indian captain on Edgbaston's ground. Earlier this record was in the name of Kohli, who scored 149 runs in the 2018 Test. Kohli was the only Indian captain to score a century on this ground before Gill. At the same time, the record of the biggest score of an Indian batsman on this ground has also been in the name of Gill.
Not only this, in this series so far, Gill has scored more than 300 runs in only 3 innings. In this way, he has also become the first Indian captain to score more than 300 runs in a Test series outside Asia at just 25 years old. Gill scored a total of 155 runs in the first Test match, including a century of 147 runs.
