India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill lit up Edgbaston with a gritty, unbeaten 114 off 199 balls, anchoring India to 310/5 at stumps on Day 1 of the second Test against England. This marks Gill’s second consecutive century as captain, and his first at Edgbaston—joining legends like Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni in the record books.
🧱 Key Highlights:
- Gill’s ton came under pressure after India lost quick wickets post-tea.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a fluent 87, continuing his dream run against England.
- Ravindra Jadeja remained unbeaten on 41, stitching a 100-run stand with Gill to stabilize the innings.
England’s bowlers, led by Chris Woakes (2/59), struggled to break through in the final session. With Jasprit Bumrah rested, India’s lighter bowling attack will rely on a big first-innings total to stay ahead.
