Viral Video Sparks Debate"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

In just his second match as India\u2019s Test captain, 25-year-old Shubman Gill achieved a historic milestone by scoring a remarkable 269 runs\u2014surpassing any previous Indian captain\u2019s highest Test score<\/a>. Gill\u2019s outstanding performance on the second day of the second India vs England Test will be etched in his memory forever. Prior to this, Virat Kohli held the record with an unbeaten 254 against South Africa in 2019, but Gill has now eclipsed that feat early in his captaincy career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shubman Gill Nears Historic Triple Century Amid Mind Games from Harry Brook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He was the picture of composure, with the possibility of a triple ton looking bright. Had he achieved it, he would have become the first Indian captain to score a Test triple century.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just after Tea, during an over by Shoaib Bashir, Harry Brook, positioned at slip, tried to play mind games with Shubman Gill, who was batting beyond 265 runs. Brook appeared to banter with Gill, seemingly referring to the elusive ‘triple century.’ Gill responded in kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former England captain Mike Atherton, commentating at the time, interpreted their exchange: Brook said, “290s is the hardest,” to which Gill asked, “How many triple centuries have you got?” Atherton then noted that Brook had scored a Test triple century against Pakistan in 2024. This interaction occurred in the 143rd over of the Indian innings, shortly before Shubman Gill was dismissed on the third ball of the 144th over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shubman Gill’s<\/a> sensational, career-best knock lit up the innings as he etched his name into the record books \u2014 registering the highest score by an Indian captain in Tests and the highest by an Indian batter on English soil. His brilliance powered India to a commanding 587 in 151 overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gill found valuable allies in spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja (89) and Washington Sundar (42), as they built crucial partnerships of 203 and 144 for the sixth and seventh wickets, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the ball, Akash Deep \u2014 playing in place of the rested Jasprit Bumrah \u2014 seized his opportunity, claiming 2 for 36. Mohammed Siraj chipped in with 1 for 21, tightening India\u2019s grip. Although Harry Brook (30) and Joe Root (18<\/em>) remain unbeaten, England face an uphill battle heading into day three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
