India’s Test captain Shubman Gill is having a dream run in the ongoing Test against England. After a double hundred in the first inning, he slammed another century in the second inning and earned fans’ praise.

On Day 4 of the Edgbaston Test, Gill once again anchored the innings after KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant’s wickets. He knitted a 70-odd-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja and went on to achieve the triple figure.

Shubman Gill Becomes Hero For Fans After Record Hundred 

The Edgbaston Test between India and England is turning out to be a historic run for visiting captain Shubman Gill. Days after a historic knock of 269 runs, Gill slammed yet another hundred in the second inning.

Gill reached the landmark with a gentle tuck past mid-on for a quick single, followed by a quiet helmet raise and a smile that lit up Edgbaston. With this feat, he joins a rare and elite group of players to have scored a double-century and a century in the same Test match.

Meanwhile, fans on the internet went gaga over Shubman Gill and his exemplary form. They paid tribute to him with heartwarming messages.

Gill is now only the third Indian captain after Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli to have hundreds in both innings of a Test match. In just 2 Tests, he has already surpassed 500 runs.

The series is turning out to be a breakout tour for Gill. What makes the achievements even more special is that this is his first assignment as Test captain. The leadership pressure appears to be bringing out the best in him.

That being said, at tea on Day 4, India has 304 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. The visitors lead by 484 runs.
