Gill becomes 8th Indian batter to score hundred in both innings of a Test

Gill also broke the record for the highest aggregate score by an Indian batter in a match

Shubman Gill continued his form of life in England as the newly appointed Indian skipper. After scoring 269 in the first innings, he went on to score another century — his 8th overall in Tests — to become only the 8th Indian batter to score a century in both innings of a Test match. Apart from him, Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar (three times), Rahul Dravid (twice), Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, and, most recently, Rishabh Pant also have this record to their name.  Indian players with century in both innings of a Test

Gill Joins Elite Club with Century and Double Ton in Same Test 

Shubman Gill’s sublime form with the bat continued to rewrite history books, as the Indian skipper became only the ninth player in Test history—and just the second Indian after Sunil Gavaskar—to score a double century and a century in the same Test match. After a marathon 269 in the first innings, Gill followed it up with a blistering 161 off just 162 balls in the second.

 

His remarkable feat places him in an elite list alongside cricketing greats such as Graham Gooch, Brian Lara, Kumar Sangakkara, Greg Chappell, Doug Walters, and Marnus Labuschagne. Gavaskar had set the benchmark with scores of 124 and 220 against the West Indies in 1971, and now Gill has added a new chapter to that legacy—tiring out bowlers and thrilling fans in equal measure.
