How important is the form of SHUBMAN GILL for the success of India in the series?
What makes Gill’s performance even more remarkable is the size of his contribution – stunning 269 in the first shifts followed by a smooth century in the second. As a result, he also became the ninth batter in the test history to register twice and centuries in the same test match. For India, only Gavascar achieved this rare performance before, during the famous 1971 series against Western India in Spain’s port.Gill is now also the second Indian after Kohl, who recorded in the first two tests for three centuries as a captain. Kohli did this during his captain’s debut in 2014–15, and now Gill has combined this performance with centuries in Headingley and Twin-Ton Masterclass in Edgbaston. Only two players in the history of the test – Kohli and Gill – managed this rare performance of three hundred in the first two matches as a test captain.In addition, Gill joined the exclusive group of players – including Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavascar, Greg Chapppell and Steven Smith – who won two centuries as a captain in the first two tests.
