Shubman Gill slammed an iconic double century in the match against the Three Lions at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Thursday, July 3.
Since taking over the leadership of the Indian Test team, Gill has looked like a completely different batter and has played with a lot more maturity.
He looked calm and composed in the middle on Day 1 and batted patiently. Gill took his time to get his eyes set and completed his fifty off 125 balls, his slowest ever. He then completed his century off 199 balls and finished the day with an unbeaten 114 runs.
After grinding hard in the middle, Gill finally completed his double century on the first ball of the 122nd over, which was bowled by Josh Tongue.
Shubman Gill becomes the first Indian captain to score a double hundred in England
Gill's performance at Edgbaston in Birmingham has helped him become the first Indian captain to score a double hundred in England and overall just the third batter after Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid.
Gill is the sixth Indian batter to register a Test double ton as captain after Pataudi Jr., Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli.
