SHUBMAN GILL imitated Virata Kohli as he scored the other hundreds as an Indian captain during the Edgbaston test on Wednesday 2 July. Gill joined Kohl, Sunil Gavascar and Vijay Hazare as an Indian captain to get hundreds of consecutive tests and the second Indian captain and the second Indian captain in Edgbaston.
Kohli scored hundreds of his back together as an Indian captain during a tour of Australia 2014-15 and Gill has now followed him after a gentle knock on Headingley. Gill’s hundred came in 199 balls and on the way to the memory hit 11 borders.
Gill also became only the second Indian captain after Mohammad Azhaurddin won hundreds of consecutive matches in England. He is also the third Indian captain – after Azharuddin in 1990 in New Zealand and England and Virat Kohli in Australia during the 2014/15 series to achieve hundreds of consecutive hay tests.

How gill went about his shifts
Gill came up with India, who lost the Naira karun at the end of the first session and ensured that there were no problems for his party. Indian captain began to move with several boundaries by Chris Woakes before he got to 34 years when he was caught by Brydon Cars before the stumps. The referee did not give him and England went on a review and it turned out that he got a little bat on the ball before hitting the pads.
In addition, he was solid in defense and kept his end well. Gill played the second violin for Yashasvi Jaiswal during their partnership 66 runs before Southpaw was released to 87. Since then Gill played with responsibility when he and Rishabh Pant got India for tea with 182 runs on the album.
India had a fluctuating period after a break of tea when they lost their pants and Nitish Kumar Reddy in quick succession. Gill would then try to change the gear and gain several boundaries and at the same time ensured that the run between him and Ravindra Jadeja was in place.
Gill needed some treatment between his back when physios came. But he hit the gentle border to get into the 1990s. He would ensure that before the new ball appeared, the landmark gets a hundred with several boundaries.
