Team India stamped their dominance on Day 2 of the second Test against England, riding on a spectacular 269-run innings from newly-appointed Test captain Shubman Gill. India posted a massive total of 587 runs in 151 overs, putting England under immense pressure at the end of the second day.
This masterclass by Gill was not just a personal milestone, but also a leadership statement in his first major Test as skipper.
Shubman Gill Leads from the Front with a Marathon 269
Captain Shubman Gill, playing with patience, elegance, and power, delivered one of the finest Test knocks in recent times. His 269 off 387 balls, laced with 30 fours and 3 sixes, came at a strike rate of 69.51. He built crucial partnerships and anchored the innings to perfection.
Gill’s innings now stands as one of the highest scores by an Indian Test captain abroad, further proving that the leadership transition has been a successful one.
