Shubman Gill slammed an iconic double century in the first innings and a sensational hundred in the second innings at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
Gill had a very poor record in overseas Test matches before he was named as the captain of the Indian team, and questions were raised over his appointment.
In his debut innings as skipper at Headingley in Leeds, he slammed an excellent century and took his performance to the next level in the second Test match.
With his double ton, Gill broke Virat Kohli's record for the highest score by an Indian Test captain and became the second youngest Indian captain to hit a Test double-hundred.
Shubman Gill follows up double ton with a hundred in the Edgbaston Test
With a double century and a century in the same Test match, Shubman Gill has become only the second Indian batter after Sunil Gavaskar to achieve this feat.
Speaking on Sky Sports Cricket after Gill reached the three-figure mark in the second innings, Nasser Hussain said:
Here's how X reacted to Shubman Gill's sensational performance in the Edgbaston Test:
269 followed by a century in the next innings. He looked very hungry for more runs right from the first ball. What a performance by Shubman Gill. ?#ENGvIND
