Shubman Gill became the second Indian after Sunil Gavaskar to score a double hundred and a century in the same Test match against England on Saturday. Gill, who scored 269 in the first innings of the second Test, scored 161 in the second to etch his name in the elite list.
Coming after the dismissal of Karun Nair, Gill started from where he left in the first innings to dominate the England bowling. He reached his hundred in 130 balls. Gavaskar had scored 124 and 220 against West Indies in 1971 at Port of Spain.
In the process, Gill also became the third Indian captain after Gavaskar (vs West Indies in 1978) and Virat Kohli (vs Australia in 2014) to score two hundreds in a Test match. The 25-year-old also became the second player after Kohli to score three hundreds in his first two Tests as captain.
