Captain Shubman Gill hits double century

Shubman Gill's double century, marks a historic performance in the India vs. England 2nd Test on July 3, 2025, contributing to India's strong 510*/6, a rare feat given only 5 Indian batsmen have achieved this in Test cricket since 2000.

This match at Edgbaston coincides with India’s strategic shift post-retirement of Kohli and Rohit, with Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal emerging as key talents, supported by a 2023 study from the Journal of Sports Sciences highlighting younger players' adaptability under pressure in Test formats.
