. Shubman Gill Makes Cricket History With Double-Century and 150+ in One Test

Shubman Gill has etched his name in cricket history by becoming the first cricketer in 148 years of Test cricket to score both a double-century and a 150-plus score in the same match. This incredible feat unfolded during India’s second Test against England at Edgbaston.

Gill’s majestic 269 in the first innings, followed by a commanding 161 in the second, led India to declare their innings at 427/6, setting England a daunting target of 608 runs. His knock in the second innings featured 13 fours and 8 sixes, executed with flair and precision.

Gill’s performance also places him alongside Sunil Gavaskar as only the second Indian batter to score 200+ and 100+ in the same Test. His batting display was bolstered by Rishabh Pant’s explosive 65 and a composed 69 not out from Ravindra Jadeja. Together, they stitched vital partnerships that pushed India to an imposing total.

KL Rahul added a stylish 55, showcasing finesse and timing before falling to a brilliant delivery from Josh Tongue. On the bowling front, Mohammed Siraj struck early in England’s chase, dismissing Zak Crawley for a duck.

Gill, now leading the side, is proving himself not just as a prolific batsman but also as a capable leader on foreign soil. With this historic performance, he has redefined what it means to dominate a Test match across innings, earning praise from fans, pundits, and former legends alike.

India now stands on the brink of a historic Test victory in England, thanks in large part to Gill’s unforgettable all-round batting display.
