Shubman Gill etched his name in cricket history by becoming the first Indian and Asian Test captain to score a double hundred in England, achieving the feat at Edgbaston. This remarkable performance also saw him break the record for the highest individual score by an Indian on English soil, previously held by Sunil Gavaskar, who scored 221 runs at the Oval in 1979. Gill's double century not only surpassed Gavaskar's record but also went beyond the 193-run mark set by Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan at Lord’s in 2011, making it a historic moment for Asian cricket.
