Shubman Gill’s record-breaking masterclass with a second ‘daddy’ hundred in the Edgbaston Test took India’s batting advantage to unprecedented levels against England at Edgbaston, leaving the Bazballers with their biggest challenge yet to try and earn an epic victory on Sunday in Birmingham. With Gill leading the charge, India etched their best-ever batting performance in terms of runs in a Test across 591 matches and 93 years.
430 – Shubman Gill became the first man to record a 250 and 150 in the same Test in history. Only England’s Graham Gooch (456 v IND, 1990) has aggregated more runs in a match. Gill bettered Gavaskar’s 54-year record (344 v WI, 1971) for most runs by an Indian in a Test.

585 – Just four innings into the series, Gill surpassed Virat Kohli’s tally (449 v AUS in 2014-15) for most runs by an Indian in their debut series as captain. Only Rahul Dravid (602) and Kohli (593) have scored more runs among Indians in an entire series in England.

11 – Gill surpassed MS Dhoni’s record for most sixes by an Indian Test captain in a match. He is only the third Indian to hit 10 sixes in a Test after Rohit Sharma (13) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (12).
1014 – For the first time in 591 Tests in their history, India amassed more than 1000 runs in a match. Their 4.33 run rate is the best of all six instances where teams have scored at least 1000 runs in a match.
