What is news?

Indian cricket team Test captain Shubman Gill created history by scoring a record double century in the first innings of the second Test against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham and a century in the second innings. Gill scored 269 runs in the first innings and scored 161 runs in the second innings. With this, Gill has become the second player to score more than 150 runs twice in a Test match. Let us know the important figures.

Earlier, this act was border

In 1980, former Australian captain Alan Border became the first player to score more than 150 runs twice in a Test match. He did this feat against Pakistan in the Lahore Test. The border scored 150* runs off 281 balls in the first innings, in which Australia declared the innings at 407/7. He scored 153 runs from 184 balls in the second innings even before the match was drawn.

Now Gill achieved this achievement

Gill is now second in this list. 269 runs in the first innings and 161 runs in the second innings. He scored a total of 430 runs in the match, which is the most runs scored by an Indian batsman in the Test. He overtook Sunil Gavaskar (a total of 344 runs vs West Indies, 1971). The Gill is only Gavaskar and Virat Kohli, who scored a century in both innings of the Test.
