New Delhi: SHUBMAN GILL continued his gold run with a bat and recorded his seventh trial century – and the second in so many matches since the takeover of the Indian test captain – to place India in the commanding position of the second test against England in Edgbaston in Birmingham. Gill’s folded knocking came to a decisive intersection, saved India from a shaky middle order, and directed the team to the position of strength. Together with Ravindra Jadeja, Gill joined together a solid, undefeated stand for the sixth goal, which not only stabilized shifts, but also confiscated the momentum of the hosts. The couple looked entertained by an English attack when they constantly built an Indian lead.

Should SHUBMAN GILL continue as a captain for the next test series?
At just 25, he became the first Indian captain to score over 300 runs in the overseas test series at this age. His shifts also placed him in the elite company-nine is only the third Indian captain who registered a 150-plus score in the test cricket before turning 26, joined the legendary Mak Pataudi (which reached twice) and Sachin tendulkar.Gill’s Knock also has a special historical significance in English conditions. His score is now the second highest Indian captain in the test match in England, behind Mohammad Azharuddin 179 in Old Trafford in 1990.
