Shubman Gill continued his fine form with the bat, guiding India to a decent position on Day 1 of the second Test against England at Edgbaston on Wednesday, July 2. The right-handed batter scored an unbeaten 114 runs from 216 balls, with the help of 12 boundaries, before stumps on the opening day.
"Before this season, there were a lot of discussions that he doesn't score runs in SENA countries. He let the bat do the talking. He scored a century in the first match and a century in this match as well. As it's said, captaincy suits some people. Captaincy is suiting him," the former India batter said.
India collapsed to 211/5, but Gill and Ravindra Jadeja, who remained not out on 41 off 67 deliveries, added an unbeaten 99-run stand for the sixth wicket. India closed the day at 310/5 in their first innings. Gill had scored 147 in the first Test at Leeds.

"What better start could you have had as a captain? Shubman had to work extremely hard today (Wednesday). The England pacers had a different approach today. They applied different tactics against Shubman Gill. The attack was more within the stumps, and Shubman prepared very well for that," he said.

"He negated exceptionally whatever the England pace bowlers offered to him. He played a more controlled knock against Shoaib Bashir. Shubman needed to bat solidly when two wickets had fallen quickly. It was a fully deserved century. He constructed his knock brilliantly, although the job is still incomplete," Saba observed.
