In a dazzling display of batting mastery, India captain Shubman Gill rewrote the Test record books during the second Test at Edgbaston, delivering twin innings that have etched his name into the pantheon of the game's greats.Gill’s innings bookended India’s commanding performance. In the fourth innings, following India’s declaration at 427/6, England were left facing a daunting 608-run chase.India’s monumental batting, buoyed by Gill’s twin centuries, has firmly placed them in control - and Gill’s historical feats have become the defining narrative of Edgbaston 2025.* Gill’s aggregate of 430 runs at Edgbaston is the second-highest by any batter in a single Test match, only behind Graham Gooch’s iconic 456 against India in 1990.* Gill’s tally of 585 runs is the second-highest aggregate in the first two matches of a series, behind Graeme Smith’s 621 in England in 2003.Gill’s colossal innings marked his first-record - the highest score by an Indian captain in Tests, surpassing Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 254 vs South Africa in Pune (2019).He bettered Sachin Tendulkar’s 241* at Sydney (2004) and stands third in away Tests behind Sehwag (309 in Multan) and Dravid (270 in Rawalpindi, 2004).He now joins only Sunil Gavaskar (221 in 1979) and Rahul Dravid (217 in 2002) as Indian double-centurions in England.Gill’s 269 is the seventh-highest by any Indian in Tests and the eighth-highest by a visiting batter in an England Test, ahead of legends like Zaheer Abbas and Graeme Smith.Gill became the seventh batter to score centuries in his first two Tests as captain - joining a list that includes Kohli, Gavaskar, Cook, Smith, Hazare, and McGlew.Gill became only the second batter ever (after Allan Border's 150* and 153 vs Pakistan in 1980) with two 150-plus scores in a Test.One of just nine players globally to record both a century and a double-century in the same Test; only Sunil Gavaskar had previously achieved this among Indians.He joined Gavaskar (Eden Gardens 1978) and Kohli (Adelaide 2014) as captains to score centuries in both innings of a Test. Notably, he's just the second Indian batter to achieve twin centuries in England Tests, after Pant at Headingley.Shared four century stands in the match - the most by any Indian batter and only the fifth player globally to do so (joining Hanif Mohammad, Gooch, Taylor, Root). He and Jadeja also became the first Indian pair to record a 100 and a 200+ run partnership in the same Test.
