Gill's double century puts India in control of second England Test

  • On July 3, 2025, Shubman Gill scored a record-breaking 269 runs in the second Test at Edgbaston, leading India to post 587 all out against England.
  • Gill achieved this double century after focusing on returning to his childhood batting basics and ignoring milestones to enjoy his innings.
  • He hit 30 fours and three sixes during an eight-and-a-half-hour vigil, forging key partnerships of 203 runs with Ravindra Jadeja and 144 with Washington Sundar.
  • Gill set a new record by scoring a double century as an Indian and Asian captain in England, surpassing the highest individual scores previously held by Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid on English soil.
  • As a result, India took a strong position, reducing England to 77 for three at stumps, suggesting Gill's innings gave India a commanding advantage in the Test series.
