2nd Test: Gill Slams Hard-fought Second Hundred As Test Captain, Takes India Past 300 (ld)
After Yashasvi Jaiswal: Shubman Gill was at his determined best to hit a hard-fought seventh Test hundred – his second as India’s captain – as the visitors reached 310/5 in 85 overs at stumps on Day One of the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series against England at Edgbaston on Wednesday.
Under sunny blue skies, England pushed India into batting first, with the visitors earning flak for resting Jasprit Bumrah, as well as packing themselves with three all-rounders and not including another genuine wicket-taker in Kuldeep Yadav. But Gill, coming after making 147 in Headingley, showed immense responsibility as well as patience and played like someone extremely determined to grind it out to be unbeaten on 114 off 216 deliveries, laced with 12 boundaries.
During his unbeaten knock, which is his fourth Test hundred against England, Gill has become just the second Indian captain after Mohammad Azharuddin to score hundreds in consecutive Tests in England.
