Indian Test team captain Shubman Gill once again won the hearts of everyone with his batting. After starting his captaincy in the Leeds Test with a brilliant century, Gill also performed a century innings in the first innings of Edgbaston Test. He completed his century by facing 199 balls in the Edgbaston Test, due to which the Indian team got strengthened in the first innings. Gill not only brought the team to a strong position, but also gave a befitting reply to those who questioned their captaincy and batting.
Shubman Gill's strong century
On the first day of Edgbaston Test, England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and decided to bowl first, but Gill accepted this challenge and played a strong innings for his team. In his innings, Gill put many brilliant shots and kept the innings from one end. He played many beautiful shots, facing the swing and bounce of the English bowlers, including the cover drive and fours on the off-side. During this, a total of 11 fours also came out of Gill's bat.
Shubman Gill also played a captaincy innings in the Leeds Test before Edgbaston Test. He was working in the first innings of the match to score 147 runs. He then faced 227 balls, hitting 19 fours and 1 six. At the same time, now he performed something similar in Edgbaston. Let me tell you, this is the 7th century of Gill's Test career. At the same time, he has a total of 16 centuries in international cricket.
Virat Kohli was equal
Shubman Gill also equaled India's star player Virat Kohli in a special list with this century innings. Actually, Gill became the second captain to score a century as an Indian captain on Edgbaston's ground. Earlier, only Virat Kohli could do this feat. Virat Kohli scored a century as a captain on the grounds of Edgbaston in the year 2018.
